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 Aluminum and Aluminum to Copper connections.

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.

BOLT DIA.	RECOMMENDED TORQUE NON-LUBRICATED STEEL & SILICON BRONZE HDWE. LB. INCHES	RECOMMENDED TORQUE LUBRICATED HDWE. & ALUMINUM HDWE. LB. INCHES*
5/16"	180	120
3/8"	240	168
1/2"	480	300
5/8"	660	480
3/4"	840	720

*Reduced torque limits apply when replacing aluminum clamping hardware with steel in bolted aluminum connectors.

NOTE: All eyestems have a recommended torque of 200 lb.-inches.
