General Information
SMCS - 7553
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in damage or malfunction,

or personal injury.
Take care to avoid mixing metric dimensioned fasteners and inch

dimensioned fasteners.
Introduction to Torque
"Torque" is measured in terms of force and distance. Force is the amount of pushing or pulling
applied at the end of the lever. Distance is the length of the lever that is being used. Torque values
are given in the following units: NEWTON meters (N·m), pound inches (lb in), and pound feet (lb
ft)
This manual is intended to provide the operator with a reference. This manual will provide the
standard torque settings for the following: bolts, nuts, plugs, fittings, and clamps.
Exceptions to these torques are given in the Service Manual, if necessary.
Be sure to use a torque wrench that has the proper range. Torque wrenches must be used properly
in order to ensure that the correct torque is applied. Always use a smooth pull for torque wrenches.
Do not jerk a torque wrench. Do not use adapters that change the length of the torque wrench. For
the correct use of your torque wrench, refer to the instructions that were packaged with your
torque wrench. For more information on the correct use of torque wrenches, refer to Special
Publication, SEBV0516, "An Introduction to Torque". This publication is available on the
Caterpillar Media Information Center (CMIC) and through the normal literature distribution
system at your local Cat ® dealer.

Prior to installation of any hardware, ensure that components are in near new condition. Bolts and
threads must not be worn or damaged. Threads must not have burrs or nicks. Hardware must be
free of rust and corrosion. Clean reused fasteners with a noncorrosive cleaner. Lightly lubricate
the threads of reused fasteners. Lightly lubricate the mating surface of the head of reused
fasteners. Other applications for lubricating fasteners may also be specified in the Service Manual.
The Service Manual may also specify the use of sealants and compounds.
Note: Do not use sealants that are not specified in the Service Manual. Do not use
compounds that are not specified in the Service Manual. Clean old compound from the bolt
and from the hole before installation.
Torque-Turn
The torque-turn method is used when precise control over clamping force is required. There is an
initial torque and an additional turn. The initial torque is required to bring all parts of the joint into
contact. The additional turn provides the desired clamping force. Ensure that all fasteners have
been torqued before you perform the additional turns. Turn the fastener according to the specified
amount. The specified amount will normally be equal to or greater than 90°. The specified amount
will normally be in 30° increments. Turns of 120° or 180° are preferred. Turns of 120° or 180° are
easily measured by the points of the hex head of the fastener. Lubrication may be specified in
order to reduce the effort that is required for the final turn. The use of the torque-turn method will
allow the following:
• Increase the life of the fastener.
• Maximize the potential clamping force of a fastener.
Typical applications are the following:
• Track bolts
• Sprocket bolts
• Connecting rod bolts
• Engine Cylinder Heads
• Drive Shaft bolts
Note: Too much tension on the bolt will cause the bolt to be stretched beyond the point of yield.
The bolt will be permanently stretched. The bolt will loosen the grip on the parts that are being
fastened. If the bolt is tightened again, the bolt will break. Do not reuse bolts that have been
permanently stretched.
Torque Sequence
Unless the bolt tightening sequence is specified by the Service Manual, the fasteners should be
tightened in a cross pattern. Use Step 1 through Step 5 unless the tightening sequence is specified:
1. Hand tighten all fasteners. Larger fasteners may require the use of a small hand wrench.
2. Torque all fasteners to 40% of full torque.
w 3/6(W)
3. Torque all fasteners to 70% of full torque.
4. Torque all fasteners to full torque by using a cross pattern. Large flanges may require
additional passes.
5. Apply at least one final full torque to all fasteners in a clockwise direction until all torque is
uniform. Large flanges may require additional passes.
Note: Final torque may be a turn.
Torque Marking (Best Practices)

Basic Process
1. Torque all bolts in the joint to a low torque or a snug torque.
Illustration 1 g06223465
2. Mark bolt head corner to abutment.
3. Tighten bolt to specified torque.
w 4/6(W)
4. Verify that the lines are broken.
Circular Process
1. Torque all bolts in the joint to a low torque or a snug torque.
w 5/6(W)
2. Mark bolt heads in a circular pattern.
3. Tighten bolt to specified torque.
4. Verify that the lines are no longer in a circular pattern.
Torque-Turn
Torque-Turn applies to fasteners that need turned to a set angle after the initial torque is applied.
1. Torque the fastener to the initial torque.
w 6/6(W)
Example of 120° torque angle
2. Mark a line on the fastener and on the abutment.
3. Mark another line in a different color at the required angle on the abutment.
4. Turn the fastener to the appropriate torque angle.
Note: Marking the socket and aligning the mark on the socket with the original starting
mark can aide in turning the fastener to the correct angle.
Example of 120° torque angle
5. Verify the mark on the fastener is in-line with the torque angle mark.

Installation of Fittings
SMCS - 7553
Note: The tightening sequence of the threaded adapters that attaches a tube assembly or hose
assembly to the machine is critical to the proper function of the machine. The sealing surfaces of
the tube assembly or hose assembly should be secured squarely. The sealing surfaces of the tube
assembly or hose assembly should be tightened to the serviced component (control valve,
cylinder, hydraulic motor, etc.). Perform this procedure prior to the final tightening of any clamps
or clips that are used in order to fasten the tube assembly or the hose assembly to the machine.
Fittings have different connections. Fittings may have two different ends. Be sure to use the
proper torque for the end of the fitting that is used. The following list contains some common
types of fittings.
Protective caps and plugs should not be removed until the connector is ready to be assembled. All
sealing surfaces should be free of contamination and damage. If a connector is damaged before or
after assembly, it should be replaced.
• Straight Thread O-Ring (STOR)
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS)
• Tapered Pipe Thread (NPT and NPTF)
• 37 Degree Flare Fitting
• 45 Degree Flare Fitting
• Inverted Flare Fitting
• Hydraulic Four Bolt Flange

1. Position the flanges parallel over the port.
2. Evenly install bolts hand-tight, keeping the gap between flanges at a minimum.
3. Put the hose in a position so that the hose does not contact the machine or with another
hose.
4. Tighten using one of the assembly torque values for bolts, used in Illustration 1 for proper
torque sequence of various flange fittings.
5. Start the engine.
6. Move the implement control levers to all of the positions.
7. Look at the hose during movement of the implement. Ensure that the hose is not in contact
with the machine or with other hoses.
Note: For hoses that cross an articulation hitch, check for contact during articulation. For
hoses that connect to the steering system, check for contact during steering.
8. Shut off the engine.
w 3/4(W)
9. If the hose contacts other hoses or the machine during the test, loosen the bolts and
reposition the hose. Repeat steps 3 through 8 until there is no contact.
Installation of Adjustable STOR Fittings

This type of fitting is used in many applications. One end of the fitting will be an adjustable STOR
fitting. The other end will be different. Always use the same installation procedure for the STOR
end. Adjustable STOR fittings can be positioned before tightening.
Elbow body assembly
(1) End that connects to the tube or hose
(2) Fitting body
(3) Locknut
(4) Backup washer
(5) O-ring seal
(6) End that is assembled to the mating part
1. Put locknut (3), backup washer (4) and O-ring seal (5) as far away from the threads as
possible. Hold these components in this position. Turn the fitting into the mating part. Turn
the fitting until backup washer (4) contacts the surface of the mating part.
Note: Excessive use of the wrench will distort the washer. Distortion of the washer will
prevent proper sealing.
2. Put the fitting assembly in the correct position. loosen fitting (2) until the correct assembly
position is achieved. Do not loosen the fitting more than 360 degrees. Install the tube or
hose hand tight in order to verify the orientation of the fitting. Tighten the fitting (2) to the
torque that is shown in the correct chart for the fitting that is used. Tighten locknut (3) to the
torque that is shown in the correct chart for the fitting that is used. Use a backup wrench,
when the locknut is tightened.
Note: Torque the fitting prior to the locknut.
w 4/4(W)
Note: If the fitting is not adjustable, the hex on the body replaces the locknut. To install this type
of fitting, tighten the hex against the face of the mating part.
Excessive tightening of the connectors can cause failure. Connectors that are under tightened can
also cause failures. The following failures occur:
• Excessive tightening can expand a loose ferrule into the nut. This will cause the ferrule to
lock up in the nut and the nut will not function properly.
• Excessive tightening can split the nut on the end of the tube or can split the ferrule.
• Excessive tightening can gall or excessive tightening can strip the threads of the nut.
Note: If the above conditions occur due to excessive tightening, the damaged fluid connector must
be scrapped and the fluid connectors must be replaced.

Put nut (1) over the tube and push the tube into the counterbore of the fitting body as far as
possible. Turn the nut with a wrench until a small decrease in torque is felt. The small decrease in
torque indicates that the sleeve (1A) has been broken off the nut. Hold the tube in order to prevent

Installing a New Flareless Fitting

Put nut (1) and sleeve (2) over the tube. The head end of the sleeve should be next to the nut. The
head end has a shoulder. The nut will be seated against this shoulder when the nut is tightened.
Push the tube into the counterbore of the fitting body as far as possible. Turn nut (1) clockwise
until the sleeve grips the tube. The sleeve must prevent all movement of the tube. Tighten the nut
for an additional 1 1/4 turns. The sleeve should be seated and the sleeve should give a locking
action.
Installing a Used Flareless Fitting

Less turns are required for a used fitting. Put nut (1) and sleeve (2) over the tube. The head of the
sleeve should be next to the nut. Push the tube into the counterbore of the fitting body as far as
possible. Tighten the nut until a sudden increase in torque is felt. Next, tighten the fitting for an
additional 1/6 to 1/3 turn in order to seat the sleeve.

Use this value when the hose is reused. The clamp may be new or reused.
Constant Torque Hose Clamps

Use a constant torque hose clamp in place of any worm drive band type clamp. Ensure that the
constant torque hose clamp is the same size as the worm drive band type clamp. Due to extreme
temperature changes, the hose will heat set. Heat setting can cause worm drive band type clamps
to loosen. Loose hose clamps can result in leaks. There have been reports of component failures
that have been caused by worm drive band type clamps that have loosened. The constant torque
hose clamp will help prevent these failures.
(1) Constant Torque Hose Clamp (Belleville Washer)
(2) Constant Torque Hose Clamp (Tee bolt and Spring)
Use a torque wrench for proper installation of all constant torque hose clamps. There are two types
of constant torque hose clamps: Belleville washer (1) and Tee bolt and spring (2)
When the constant torque hose clamp (Belleville washer) (1) is assembled correctly, the Belleville
washers (1A) are nearly collapsed flat. The proper torque for screw (1B) is based on the diameter
(B) of the clamp. Refer to the following table for the correct torque.

Wave Liner Clamps

The wave liner worm drive clamp is a clamp with a special liner. this liner has a "v grove" that
causes greater pressure points on the hose. This greater compression will offer better sealing
capability at the hose connection.

Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in damage or malfunction,

Take care to avoid mixing metric dimensioned fasteners and inch

Exceptions to these torques are given in the Service Manual, if necessary.

• Increase the life of the fastener.

• Maximize the potential clamping force of a fastener.

Typical applications are the following:

• Connecting rod bolts

• Engine Cylinder Heads

• Drive Shaft bolts

2. Torque all fasteners to 40% of full torque.

3. Torque all fasteners to 70% of full torque.

Note: Final torque may be a turn.

Torque Marking (Best Practices)

1. Torque all bolts in the joint to a low torque or a snug torque.

2. Mark bolt head corner to abutment.

3. Tighten bolt to specified torque.

4. Verify that the lines are broken.

2. Mark bolt heads in a circular pattern.

3. Tighten bolt to specified torque.

4. Verify that the lines are no longer in a circular pattern.

1. Torque the fastener to the initial torque.

2. Mark a line on the fastener and on the abutment.

4. Turn the fastener to the appropriate torque angle.
