Touch Control - torquing head cover bolts

couv · Mar 29, 2009

The manual gives 45 ft lbs as the setting for the head bolts on my 100 Touch Control, but I can"t find a listing for :

Bottom Cover
Filter Screen (4) bolts
(2) Bolts on tubes to/from pump

These bolts are significantly smaller diameter than the head bolts, so I believe they will pop if tightened to 45

Also, if I remember various threads on the topic, NO GOO of any kind ???

Just snug up to tight and call it good. No goo either.

If you feel better about using your torque wrench for these bolts, your torque wrench should have come with a table of torques for bolts. That is what I use if it is something that seems critical to uniform torque like those cover bolts. If you don't have a bolt torque table you should be able to find one on the nnalert by searching under "Torque table for Bolts". Roger
