Please note: The above data is based on a dry installation and should not be used for a lubricated installation. This data is based on a Metric Coarse Thread. The values stated are taken from a controlled environment and are not specific to a particular screw type - different fasteners may have different attributes which can affect the values given within this table. Accu cannot guarantee the figures given and they should be used as a guide only.
