Torque Requirements
G-Clips should be tightened by hand, using a 7/16″ nut driver. When fully tightened
by the average installer, a torque value of approximately 58 inch/ pounds torque is realized,
according to tests. This is sufficient to allow the clips to resist typical vibration and stress loads to which
grating is often subjected.
