I'm using the Standard Aircraft Handbook table for torques for my flare fittings. Dry, 37 deg scotch-brited flares.
However, it is not clear what I should use for torque values for the nuts that hold the bulkhead fitting to the rib. It seems reasonable to use the same. Both searching here, the SAH, and AC43.13 returned no other thoughts.
Am I good doing that, am I over-obsessing (very much not like me), or have I missed the right answer?
Also, any pitfalls/gotchas in sealing these fittings and spacers to the rib? I was just planning to wet-seal the fittings in there and fillet around each side.
One tank is nearly done![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
