1. Using machine oil as lubricant. See Bolt Lubrication section below and torque correction factors for other lubricants in Table 6.
2. Carbon steel element assembly fasteners are provided with a low friction polymer coating. No additional lubrication should be required. When stainless steel fasteners are provided,
lubrication is recommended to reduce tightening torque and to prevent potential galling.
3. See Figure 5.
