RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES FOR
BOLTED CONNECTORS
Tightening Force Applied to Hardware: Following are
ANDERSON’S recommended torque values applying to all
clamping hardware used in connectors and fittings.
Note:
Care should be taken to prevent sealant from being applied to
hardware since torque values will be affected if the hardware
becomes lubricated with sealant.
Bronze To Copper Assemblies (Tongue
Mounting Hardware)
KEY:
Si-Br—Silicon Bronze
GS—Galvanized Steel
SS—Stainless Steel
AL—Aluminum
(1) denotes preferred hardware usage.
Note:
Contact sealant should be used between Aluminum to Alumi-
num and Aluminum to Copper connections.
