Torque Settings (Imperial Bolts)

Torque Settings — Achieve Accurate Tightening Every Time

The Torque Settings guide from Allfast Solutions NZ helps you tighten fasteners to the correct tension for maximum safety and reliability. Proper torque prevents joint failure, over-tightening, and damage to components — ensuring every connection performs as designed.

Getting torque right matters. When bolts and screws are too loose, joints can shift or fail under load. Too tight, and threads can stretch or break. This torque settings chart gives you the exact tightening values for each fastener size and grade, so you can work confidently and avoid costly mistakes.

Our Torque Settings guide includes:

• Recommended torque values for metric and imperial bolts

• Grades 4.6, 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 with matching tension data

• Charts for stainless, galvanised, and coated fasteners

• Step-by-step tips for accurate torque application

• Information on lubrication and friction effects

• Safety reminders for calibrated torque tools

Each table is clear, easy to read, and formatted for workshop or site use. You can look up a bolt size, match the correct torque, and complete installation with confidence. The guide also explains how lubrication and coating affect friction, helping you fine-tune your torque settings for consistent, repeatable results.

At Allfast Solutions NZ, we believe precision builds strength. That’s why we supply not only premium fasteners but also the data to install them correctly. Our torque charts follow ISO and AS/NZS standards to ensure consistent performance and full compliance across projects.

For more information on fastener strength and tightening standards, visit the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard defines torque testing and preload measurement methods used worldwide.

In summary, the Torque Settings guide gives you the tools to achieve perfect tension, secure fittings, and long-term reliability — every time you tighten.
