Beta 14 Exhaust Elbow Torque Specs


How tight do I torque the 4 bolts that fasten the exhaust elbow to the heat exchanger exhaust outlet?

Thanks

Tim

Actually torquing is not required and would be hard to do in most instances. The bolt is a class 8.8 but the heat exchanger housing is aluminum and a thick soft gasket is used. I recommend that you apply a grease to the threads and just snug them up hand tight using a short open end or box end wrench. This is what we do in the shop.
