SECTION 1. RIVETS |
|
|
|
|
|
7-1. GENERAL.
a. Standard solid-shank rivets and the
universal head rivets (AN470) are used in aircraft construction in both interior and exterior locations. All protruding head rivets may be replaced by MS20470 (supersedes AN470) rivets. This has been adopted as the standard for protruding head rivets in the United States.
b. Roundhead rivets (AN430) are used in the interior of aircraft except where clearance is required for adjacent members.
c. Flathead rivets (AN442) are used in the interior of the aircraft where interference of adjacent members does not permit the use of roundhead rivets.
d. Brazierhead rivets (AN455 and AN456) are used on the exterior surfaces of aircraft where flush riveting is not essential.
e. Countersunk head rivets MS20426
(supersedes AN426 100-degree) are used on the exterior surfaces of aircraft to provide a smooth aerodynamic surface, and in other applications where a smooth finish is desired. The 100-degree countersunk head has been adopted as the standard in the United States. Refer to MIL-HD BK5 Metallic Materials and Elements for Fight Vehicle Structures, and U.S.A.F./Navy T./O. 1-1A-8, Structural Hardware."
f. Typical rivet types are shown in table 7-10. |
7-2. MATERIAL APPLICATIONS.
a. Rivets made with 2117-T4 are the
most commonly used rivets in aluminum alloy structures. The main advantage of 2117-T4 is that it may be used in the condition received without further treatment.
b. The 2017-T3, 2017-T31, and 2024-T4
rivets are used in aluminum alloy structures where strength higher than that of the 2117-T4 rivet is needed. See Metallic Materials and Elements for Flight Vehicle Structures (MIL-HDBK-5) for differences between the types of rivets specified here.
c. The 1100 rivets of pure aluminum are
used for riveting nonstructural parts fabricated from the softer aluminum alloys, such as 1100, 3003, and 5052.
d. When riveting magnesium alloy structures, 5056 rivets are used exclusively due to their corrosion-resistant qualities in combination with the magnesium alloys.
e. Mild steel rivets are used primarily in riveting steel parts. Do not use galvanized rivets on steel parts subjected to high heat.
f. Corrosion-resistant steel rivets are
used primarily in riveting corrosion-resistant steel parts such as firewalls, exhaust stack bracket attachments, and similar structures. |

g. Monel rivets are used in special cases for riveting high-nickel steel alloys and nickel alloys. They may be used interchangeably with stainless steel rivets as they are more easily driven. However, it is preferable to use stainless steel rivets in stainless steel parts.
h. Copper rivets are used for riveting copper alloys, leather, and other nonmetallic materials. This rivet has only limited usage in aircraft.
i. Hi-Shear rivets are sometimes used in connections where the shearing loads are the primary design consideration. Its use is restricted to such connections. It should be noted that Hi-Shear rivets are not to be used for the installation of control surface hinges and hinge brackets. Do not paint the rivets before assembly, even where dissimilar metals are being joined. However, it is advisable to touch up each end of the driven rivet with primer to allow the later application of the general airplane finish. |
j. Blind rivets in the NASM20600 I through NASM20603 series rivets and the mechanically-locked stem NAS 1398, 1399, 1738, and 1739 rivets sometimes may be substituted for solid rivets. They should not be used where the looseness or failure of a few rivets will impair the airworthiness of the aircraft. Design allowable for blind rivets are specified in MIL-HDBK-5. Specific structural applications are outlined in NASM33522. Nonstructural applications for such blind rivets
as NASM20604 and NASM20605 are contained in NASM33557.
CAUTION: For sheet metal repairs to airframe, the use of blind rivets must be authorized by the airframe manufacturer or approved by a representative of the FAA.
For more information on blind rivets, see page 4-19, f. of this document.

7-14. GENERAL. In general, screws differ from bolts by the following characteristics.
a. Screws usually have lower material strength, a looser thread fit, head shapes formed to engage a screwdriver, and the shank may be threaded along its entire length without a clearly defined grip. Screws may be divided into three basic groups: structural screws, machine screws, and self-tapping screws. Screws are marked as required by the applicable Army Navy (AN), National Aerospace Standard (NAS), or Military Standard (MS) drawing. Normally a manufacturer places his trademark on the head of the screw. Several types of structural screws are available that differ from the standard structural bolts only in the type of head.
b. It would be impossible to cover all
screws that are available to the aviation market; therefore, only the most frequently used screws will be discussed in this text. Design specifications are available in MIL-HDBK-5, or U.S.A.F./Navy T.O.1-1A-8/NAVAIR 01-1A-8, Structural Hardware.
c. Typical screw types are shown in table 7-11.
7-15. STRUCTURAL SCREWS. NAS502, NAS503, AN509, NAS220 through NAS227,
and NAS583 through NAS590, may be used
for structural applications, similar to structural bolts or rivets. These screws are fabricated from a material with a high-tensile strength and differ from structural bolts only in the type of head.
7-16. MACHINE SCREWS. These screws are available in four basic head styles: flat-head (countersunk), roundhead, fillister, and socket head. |
a. Flathead machine screws (AN505, AN510, AN507, NAS200, NAS514, NAS517, and NAS662) are used in countersunk holes where a flush surface is desired.
b. Roundhead machine screws (AN515 and AN520) are general-purpose screws for use in nonstructural applications.
c. Fillister head machine screws (AN500 through AN503, AN116901 through
AN116912, AN116913 through AN116924, AN116962 through AN116990, AN117002 through AN117030, and AN117042 through
AN117070) are general-purpose screws that may be used as capscrews in light mechanical applications and are usually drilled for safety wire.
d. Socket head machine screws
(NAS608 and NAS609) are designed to be
driven into tapped holes by means of internal wrenches. They may be used in applications requiring high strength, compactness of assembled parts, or sinking of heads below surfaces into fitted holes.
7-17. PANHEAD SCREWS (NAS600 THROUGH NAS606, NAS610 THROUGH NAS616, NAS623, AND NAS1402
THROUGH NAS1406). Flathead screws (MS35188 through MS35203), panhead machine screws (MS35024 through MS35219),
and truss-head screws (AN526) are general-purpose screws used where head height is not important.
7-18. SELF-TAPPING SCREWS. The
self-tapping screw taps their own mating thread when driven into untapped or punched holes slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw. Self-tapping machine screws (AN504 and AN530), may be used to attach minor |

nonstructural parts. Self-tapping sheet metal
screws (AN504, AN530, AN531 and NAS548)
may be used in blind applications for the temporary attachment of sheet metal for riveting and the permanent assembly of nonstructural assemblies. The MS21318 is a roundhead drive screw used in the attachment of name-plates or in sealing drain holes, and is not intended to be removed after installation. They are normally installed by driving the screw into a drilled hole with a hammer. |
CAUTION: Self-tapping screws should never be used as a replacement for standard screws, nuts, bolts, or rivets in any aircraft structure.
7-19. WOOD SCREWS AN545 and
AN550, MS35492 and MS35493 are screws
used in wood structures of aircraft.

7-34. GENERAL. "Hardware" is the term used to describe the various types of fasteners and small items used to assemble and repair aircraft structures and components. Only hardware with traceability to an approved manufacturing process or source should be used. This traceability will ensure that the hardware is at least equal to the original or properly-altered condition. Hardware that is not traceable or is improperly altered, may be substandard or counterfeit, since their physical properties cannot be substantiated. Selection and use of fasteners are as varied as the types of aircraft; therefore, care should be taken to ensure fasteners are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the intended installation, repair, or replacement. Threaded fasteners (bolts/screws) and rivets are the most commonly used fasteners because they are designed to carry shear and/or tensile loads.
7-35. BOLTS. Most bolts used in aircraft structures are either general-purpose, internal-wrenching, or close-tolerance AN, NAS, or MS bolts. In certain cases, fastener manufacturers produce bolts of different dimensions or greater strength than the standard types. Such bolts are made for a particular application, and it is of extreme importance to use like bolts in replacement. Design specifications are available in MIL-HDBK-5 or USAF/Navy T.O. 1-1A-8/NAVAIR 01-1A-8. References should be made to military specifications and industry design standards such as NAS, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Aerospace Material Standards (AMS). Typical bolt types are shown in table 7-12.
7-36. IDENTIFICATION. Aircraft bolts may be identified by code markings on the bolt heads. These markings generally denote the material of which the bolt is made, whether the |
bolt is a standard AN-type or a special-purpose bolt, and sometimes include the manufacturer.
a. AN standard steel bolts are marked with either a raised dash or asterisk, corrosion-resistant steel is marked by a single dash, and AN aluminum-alloy bolts are marked with two raised dashes.
b. Special-purpose bolts include high-strength, low-strength, and close-tolerance types. These bolts are normally inspected by magnetic particle inspection methods. Typical markings include "SPEC" (usually heat-treated for strength and durability), and an aircraft manufacturer's part number stamped on the head. Bolts with no markings are low strength. Close-tolerance NAS bolts are marked with either a raised or recessed triangle. The material markings for NAS bolts are the same as for AN bolts, except they may be either raised or recessed. Bolts requiring non-destructive inspection (NDI) by magnetic particle inspection are identified by means of colored lacquer, or head markings of a distinctive type. (See figure 7-1.)
7-37. GRIP LENGTH. In general, bolt grip lengths of a fastener is the thickness of the material the fastener is designed to hold when two or more parts are being assembled. Bolts of slightly greater grip length may be used, provided washers are placed under the nut or bolthead. The maximum combined height of washers that should be used is 1/8 inch. This limits the use of washers necessary to compensate for grip, up to the next standard grip size. Over the years, some fasteners specifications have been changed. For this reason, it is recommended when making repairs to an aircraft, whose original hardware is being replaced, that you must first measure the bolt before ordering, rather than relying on the parts manual for |

|
of 0.0006 inch for a 5/8 inch bolt. Bolt holes should be flush to the surface, and free of debris to provide full bearing surface for the bolt head and nut. In the event of over-sized or elongated holes in structural members, reaming or drilling the hole to accept the next larger bolt size may be permissible. Care should be taken to ensure items, such as edge distance, clearance, and structural integrity are maintained. Consult the manufacturer's structural repair manual, the manufacturer's engineering department, or the FAA before drilling or reaming any bolt hole in a critical structural member.
7-40. TORQUES. The importance of correct torque application cannot be overemphasized. Undertorque can result in unnecessary wear of nuts and bolts, as well as the parts they secure. Overtorque can cause failure of a bolt or nut from overstressing the threaded areas. Uneven or additional loads that are applied to the assembly may result in wear or premature failure. The following are a few simple, but important procedures, that should be followed to ensure that correct torque is applied.
NOTE: Be sure that the torque applied is for the size of the bolt shank
not the wrench size.
a. Calibrate the torque wrench at least once a year, or immediately after it has been abused or dropped, to ensure continued accuracy.
b. Be sure the bolt and nut threads are clean and dry, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
c. Run the nut down to near contact
with the washer or bearing surface and check the friction drag torque required to turn the nut. Whenever possible, apply the torque to the nut and not the bolt. This will reduce rotation of the bolt in the hole and reduce wear. |

identification. In the case of plate nuts, if proper bolt grip length is not available, add shims under the plate. All bolt installations which involve self-locking or plain nuts should have at least one thread of the bolt protruding through the nut.
7-38. LOCKING OR SAFETYING OF BOLTS. Lock or safety all bolts and/or nuts, except self-locking nuts. Do not reuse cotter pins or safety wire.
7-39. BOLT FIT. Bolt holes, particularly those of primary connecting elements, have close tolerances. Generally, it is permissible to use the first-lettered drill size larger than the nominal bolt diameter, except when the AN hexagon bolts are used in light-drive fit (reamed) applications and where NAS close-tolerance bolts or AN clevis bolts are used. A light-drive fit can be defined as an interference |

d. Add the friction drag torque to the
desired torque. This is referred to as "final torque," which should register on the indicator or setting for a snap-over type torque wrench.
e. Apply a smooth even pull when applying torque pressure. If chattering or a jerking motion occurs during final torque, back off the nut and retorque.
NOTE: Many applications of bolts in aircraft/engines require stretch checks prior to reuse. This requirement is due primarily to bolt stretching caused by overtorquing.
f. When installing a castle nut, start alignment with the cotter pin hole at the minimum recommended torque plus friction drag torque.
NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum torque plus the friction drag. If the hole and nut castellation do not align, change washer or nut and try again. Exceeding the maximum recommended torque is not recommended.
g. When torque is applied to bolt heads or capscrews, apply the recommended torque plus friction drag torque.
h. If special adapters are used which will change the effective length of the torque wrench, the final torque indication or wrench setting must be adjusted accordingly. Determine the torque wrench indication or setting with adapter installed as shown in figure 7-2.
i. Table 7-1 shows the recommended torque to be used when specific torque is not supplied by the manufacturer. The table includes standard nut and bolt combinations, currently used in aviation maintenance. For further identification of hardware, see chapter 7, section 11. |
7-41. STANDARD AIRCRAFT HEX
HEAD BOLTS (AN3 THROUGH AN20).
These are all-purpose structural bolts used for general applications that require tension or shear loads. Steel bolts smaller than No. 10-32, and aluminum alloy bolts smaller than 1/4 inch diameter, should not be used in primary structures. Do not use aluminum bolts or nuts in applications requiring frequent removal for inspection or maintenance.
7-42. DRILLED HEAD BOLTS (AN73 THROUGH AN81). The AN drilled head
bolt is similar to the standard hex bolt, but has a deeper head which is drilled to receive safety wire. The physical differences preventing direct interchangeability are the slightly greater head height, and longer thread length of the
AN73 through AN81 series. The AN73
through AN81 drilled head bolts have been superseded by MS20073, for fine thread bolts and MS20074 for coarse thread bolts. AN73, AN74, MS20073, and MS20074 bolts of like
thread and grip lengths are universally, functionally, and dimensionally interchangeable.
7-43. ENGINE BOLTS. These are hex
head bolts (AN101001 through AN101900), drilled shank hex head bolts (AN101901
through AN102800), drilled hex head (one
hole) bolts (AN102801 through AN103700), and drilled hex head (six holes) bolts
(AN103701 through AN104600). They are
similar to each other except for the holes in the head and shank. Hex head bolts (AN104601 through AN105500), drilled shank hex head bolts (AN105501 through AN106400), drilled hex head (one hole) bolts (AN106401 through AN107300), and drilled hex head (six holes)
bolts (AN107301 through AN108200) are similar to the bolts described in paragraph 7-42, except that this series is manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel. |

7-44. CLOSE-TOLERANCE BOLTS.
Close-tolerance, hex head, machine bolts (AN173 through AN186), 100-degree countersunk head, close-tolerance, high-strength bolts (NAS333 through NAS340), hex head, close-tolerance, short thread, titanium alloy bolts (NAS653 through NAS658), 100-degree countersunk flathead, close-tolerance titanium
alloy bolts (NAS663 through NAS668), and
drilled hex head close-tolerance titanium alloy
bolts (NAS673 through NAS678), are used in
applications where two parts bolted together are subject to severe load reversals and vibration. Because of the interference fit, this type |
of bolt may require light tapping with a mallet to set the bolt shank into the bolt hole.
NOTE: Elimination of friction in interference fit applications may sometimes be attained by placing the bolt in a freezer prior to installation. When this procedure is used, the bolt should be allowed to warm up to ambient temperature before torquing.
CAUTION: Caution must be exercised in the use of close-tolerance bolts for all critical applications, such as |

landing gear, control systems, and helicopter rotary controls. Do not substitute for close-tolerance fasteners without specific instructions from the aircraft manufacturer or the FAA.
7-45. INTERNAL WRENCHING BOLTS (NAS144 THROUGH NAS158 AND NAS172 THROUGH NAS176). These are high-strength bolts used primarily in tension applications. Use a special heat-treated washer (NAS143C) under the head to prevent the large radius of the shank from contacting only the sharp edge of the hole. Use a special heat-treated washer (NAS143) under the nut.
7-46. INTERNAL WRENCHING BOLTS (MS20004 THROUGH MS20024) AND SIX HOLE, DRILLED SOCKET HEAD BOLTS (AN148551 THROUGH AN149350). These are very similar to the bolts in paragraph 7-45, except these bolts are made from different alloys. The NAS144 through NAS158 and NAS172 through NAS176 are interchangeable
with MS20004 through MS20024 in the same
thread configuration and grip lengths. The AN148551 through AN149350 have been superseded by MS9088 through MS9094 with
the exception of AN149251 through 149350, which has no superseding MS standard.
7-47. TWELVE POINT, EXTERNAL WRENCHING BOLTS, (NAS624 THROUGH NAS644). These bolts are used primarily in high-tensile, high-fatigue strength applications. The twelve point head, heat-resistant machine bolts (MS9033 through |
MS9039), and drilled twelve point head machine bolts (MS9088 through MS9094), are similar to the (NAS624 through NAS644); but are made from different steel alloys, and their shanks have larger tolerances.
7-48. CLOSE-TOLERANCE SHEAR BOLTS (NAS464). These bolts are designed for use where stresses normally are in shear only. These bolts have a shorter thread than bolts designed for torquing.
7-49. NAS6200 SERIES BOLTS. These are close tolerance bolts and are available in two oversized diameters to fit slightly elongated holes. These bolts can be ordered with an "X" or "Y" after the length, to designate the oversized grip portion of the bolt (i.e., NAS6204-6X for a 1/4 inch bolt with a 1/64 inch larger diameter). The elongated hole may have to be reamed to insure a good fit.
7-50. CLEVIS BOLTS (AN21
THROUGH AN36). These bolts are only used in applications subject to shear stress, and are often used as mechanical pins in control systems.
7-51. EYEBOLTS (AN42 THROUGH AN49). These bolts are used in applications where external tension loads are to be applied. The head of this bolt is specially designed for the attachment of a turnbuckle, a clevis, or a cable shackle. The threaded shank may or may not be drilled for safetying.

7-63. GENERAL. Aircraft nuts are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and material strengths. The types of nuts used in aircraft structures include castle nuts, shear nuts, plain nuts, light hex nuts, checknuts, wingnuts, and sheet spring nuts. Many are available in either self-locking or nonself-locking style. Typical nut types are shown in table 7-13. Refer to the aircraft manufacturer's structural repair manual, the manufacturer's engineering department, or the FAA, before replacing any nut with any other type.
7-64. SELF-LOCKING NUTS. These nuts are acceptable for use on certificated aircraft subject to the aircraft manufacturer's recommended practice sheets or specifications. Two types of self-locking nuts are currently in use, the all-metal type, and the fiber or nylon type.
a. DO NOT use self-locking nuts on parts subject to rotation.
b. Self-locking castellated nuts with cotter pins or lockwire may be used in any system.
c. Self-locking nuts should not be used with bolts or screws on turbine engine airplanes in locations where the loose nut, bolt, washer, or screw could fall or be drawn into the engine air intake scoop.
d. Self-locking nuts should not be used with bolts, screws, or studs to attach access panels or doors, or to assemble any parts that are routinely disassembled before, or after each flight. They may be used with anti-friction bearings and control pulleys, provided the inner race of the bearing is secured to the supporting structure by the nut and bolt. |
e. Metal locknuts are constructed with either the threads in the locking insert, out-of-round with the load-carrying section, or with a saw-cut insert with a pinched-in thread in the locking section. The locking action of the all-metal nut depends upon the resiliency of the metal when the locking section and load-carrying section are engaged by screw threads. Metal locknuts are primarily used in high temperature areas.
f. Fiber or nylon locknuts are constructed with an unthreaded fiber or nylon locking insert held securely in place. The fiber or nylon insert provides the locking action because it has a smaller diameter than the nut. Fiber or nylon self-locking nuts are not installed in areas where temperatures exceed 250 °F. After the nut has been tightened, make sure the bolt or stud has at least one thread showing past the nut. DO NOT reuse a fiber or nylon locknut, if the nut cannot meet the minimum prevailing torque values. (See table 7-2.)
g. Self-locking nut plates are produced in a variety of forms and materials for riveting or welding to aircraft structures or parts. Certain applications require the installation of self-locking nuts in channel arrangement permitting the attachment of many nuts in a row with only a few rivets.
7-65. NUT IDENTIFICATION FINISHES. Several types of finishes are used on self-locking nuts. The particular type of finish is dependent on the application and temperature requirement. The most commonly used finishes are described briefly as follows. |

Table 7-2. Minimum prevailing torque values for reused self-locking nuts. |
(3) Iridescent Dichromate. Cadmium-plated work is dipped in a solution of sodium dichromate and takes on a surface film of basic chromium chromate which resists corrosion. Finish is yellow to brown in color.
NOTE: Cadmium-plated nuts are restricted for use in temperatures not to exceed 450 °F. When used in temperatures in excess of 450 °F, the cadmium will diffuse into the base material causing it to become very brittle and subject to early failure.
b. Silver plating. Silver plating is applied to locknuts for use at higher temperatures. Important advantages are its resistance to extreme heat (1,400 °F) and its excellent lubricating characteristics. Silver resists galling and seizing of mating parts when subjected to heat or heavy pressure.
c. Anodizing for Aluminum. An inorganic oxide coating is formed on the metal by connecting the metals and anodes in a suitable electrolyte. The coating offers excellent corrosion resistance and can be dyed in a number of colors.
d. Solid Lubricant Coating. Locknuts are also furnished with molybdenum disulfide for lubrication purposes. It provides a clean, dry, permanently-bonded coating to prevent seizing and galling of threads. Molybdenum disulfide is applied to both cadmium and silver-plated parts. Other types of finishes are available, but the finishes described in this chapter are the most widely used.
7-66. CASTLE NUT (AN310). The castle nut is used with drilled shank hex head bolts, clevis bolts, drilled head bolts, or studs that are subjected to tension loads. The nut has slots or castellations cut to accommodate a cotter pin or safety wire as a means of safetying. |

a. Cadmium-Plating. This is an electro-lytically deposited silver-gray plating which provides exceptionally good protection against corrosion, particularly in salty atmosphere, but is not recommended in applications where the temperature exceeds 450 °F. The following additional finishes or refinements to the basic cadmium can be applied.
(1) Chromic Clear Dip. Cadmium surfaces are passivated, and cyanide from the plating solution is neutralized. The protective film formed gives a bright, shiny appearance, and resists staining and finger marks.
(2) Olive Drab Dichromate. Cadmium-plated work is dipped in a solution of chromic acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and a dye which produces corrosion resistance. |

7-67. CASTELLATED SHEAR NUT (AN320). The castellated shear nut is designed for use with hardware subjected to shear stress only.
7-68. PLAIN NUT (AN315 AND AN335).
The plain nut is capable of withstanding large tension loads; however, it requires an auxiliary locking device, such as a checknut or safety wire. Use of this type on aircraft structures is limited.
7-69. LIGHT HEX NUTS (AN340 AND AN345). These nuts are used in nonstructural applications requiring light tension. Like the AN315 and AN335, they require a locking device to secure them. |
7-71. WINGNUTS (AN350). The wingnut is used where the desired torque is obtained by use of the fingers or handtools. Wingnuts are normally drilled to allow safetying with safety wire.
7-72. SHEET SPRING NUTS (AN365).
Sheet spring nuts are commonly called speed nuts. They are used with standard and sheet metal self-tapping screws in nonstructural applications. They are used to support line and conduit clamps, access doors, etc. Their use should be limited to applications where they were originally used in assembly of the aircraft.

7-85. GENERAL. The type of washers used
in aircraft structure are plain washers, , and special washers. Typical washer types are shown in table 7-14.
7-86. PLAIN WASHERS (AN960 AND
AN970). Plain washers are widely used with hex nuts to provide a smooth bearing surface, act as a shim to obtain the proper grip length, and to position castellated nuts in relation to drilled cotter pin holes in bolts. Use plain washers under lock washers to prevent damage to bearing surfaces. Cadmium-plated steel washers are recommended for use under boltheads and nuts used on aluminum alloy or magnesium structures to prevent corrosion. The AN970 steel washer provides a larger bearing surface than the plain type, and is often used in wooden structures under boltheads and nuts to prevent local crushing of the surface.
7-87. LOCKWASHERS (AN935 AND
AN936). Lock washers may be used with machine screws or bolts whenever the self-locking or castellated type nut is not applicable. Do not use lock washers where frequent removal is required, in areas subject to corrosion, or in areas exposed to airflow. Use a plain washer between the lock washer and material to prevent gouging the surface of the metal. |
CAUTION: Lock washers are not to be used on primary structures, secondary structures, or accessories where failure might result in damage or danger to aircraft or personnel.
7-88. BALL SOCKET AND SEAT WASHERS (AN950 AND AN955). Ball socket and seat washers are used in special applications where the bolt is installed at an angle to the surface or when perfect alignment with the surface is required. These washers are used together as a pair.
7-89. TAPER PIN WASHERS (AN975).
Taper pin washers are used with the threaded taper pin. NAS143 and MS20002 washers are used with NAS internal wrenching bolts and internal wrenching nuts. They may be plain or countersunk. The countersunk washer (designated as NAS143C and MS20002C) is used to seat the bolthead shank radius, and the plain washer is used under the nut.

7-101. TAPER PINS. Plain (AN385) and threaded (AN386) taper pins are used in joints which carry shear loads and where the absence of play is essential. The plain taper pin is usually drilled and secured with wire. The threaded taper pin is used with a taper-pin washer (AN975) and shear nut (safetied with a cotter pin) or self-locking nut (if undrilled). Typical pin types are shown in table 7-15.
7-102. FLATHEAD PINS (AN392 THROUGH AN406). Commonly called a clevis pin, this pin is used in conjunction with tie-rod terminals and in secondary controls which are not subject to continuous operation. The pin is normally installed with the head up, or forward, to prevent loss should the cotter pin fail or work out.
7-103. COTTER PINS (AN380). Cotter pins are used for securing bolts, screws, nuts, and pins. Use AN381 or MS24665 cotter pins in locations where nonmagnetic material or resistance to corrosion is desired. Cotter pins should not be reused.
7-104. SPRING PINS. The spring pin is
designed for use in double-shear applications. The pins are manufactured with the diameter greater than the holes in which they are to be used. Spring pins are stronger than mild carbon steel straight pins, taper pins, or grooved pins of the equivalent size. The spring pin is compressed as it is driven into the hole, and exerts continuous spring pressure against the sides of the hole to prevent loosening by vibration. Spring pins require no other means of securing, and can be used inside one another to increase shear strength.
a. Be careful when using these pins,
since spring-pin performance depends entirely on the fit and the durability of the fit under |
vibration or repeated load conditions (especially in soft materials, such as aluminum alloys and magnesium). They should not be used in an aircraft component or system where the loss or failure of the pin might endanger safe flight.
b. The joints where spring pins are used
for fastening shall be designed like riveted and bolted joints. Spring pins should not be mixed with other structural fasteners in the same joint. These pins, for primary structural applications, should be used only where there will be no rotation or relative movement of the joint. Spring pins may be reused if a careful inspection reveals no deformation of the pin or hole.
c. Be careful to observe that the hole has not enlarged or deformed preventing proper functioning of the spring pin. Where hole misalignment results in the pin gap closing or necessitates excess inserting force, the spring pin will not be used. The spring pin should not be used as a substitute for a cotter pin. When a spring pin is used in a clevis joint, it is recommended that the pin be held by the outer members of the unit for maximum efficiency and reduced maintenance.
7-105. QUICK-RELEASE PINS. These
pins are used in some applications where rapid removal and replacement of equipment is necessary. When equipment is secured with these pins, no binding of the spindle should be present. Spindle binding could cause the locking balls to remain in the open position which could result in the pin falling out under vibration.

7-122. GENERAL. The word safetying is a term universally used in the aircraft industry. Briefly, safetying is defined as: "Securing by various means any nut, bolt, turnbuckle etc., on the aircraft so that vibration will not cause it to loosen during operation." These practices are not a means of obtaining or maintaining torque, rather a safety device to prevent the disengagement of screws, nuts, bolts, snap rings, oil caps, drain cocks, valves, and parts. Three basic methods are used in safetying; safety-wire, cotter pins, and self-locking nuts. Retainer washers and pal nuts are also sometimes used.
a. Wire, either soft brass or steel is used on cylinder studs, control cable turnbuckles, and engine accessory attaching bolts.
b. Cotter pins are used on aircraft and engine controls, landing gear, and tailwheel assemblies, or any other point where a turning or actuating movement takes place.
c. Self-locking nuts are used in applications where they will not be removed often. Repeated removal and installation will cause the self-locking nut to lose its locking feature. They should be replaced when they are no longer capable of maintaining the minimum prevailing torque. (See table 7-2.)
d. Pal or speed nuts include designs which force the nut thread against the bolt or screw thread when tightened. These nuts should never be reused and should be replaced with new ones when removed.
7-123. SAFETY WIRE. Do not use stainless steel, monel, carbon steel, or aluminum alloy safety wire to secure emergency mechanisms such as switch handles, guards covering handles used on exits, fire extinguishers, |
emergency gear releases, or other emergency equipment. Some existing structural equipment or safety-of-flight emergency devices require copper or brass safety wire (.020 inch diameter only). Where successful emergency operation of this equipment is dependent on shearing or breaking of the safety wire, particular care should be used to ensure that safe-tying does not prevent emergency operation.
a. There are two methods of safety wiring; the double-twist method that is most commonly used, and the single-wire method used on screws, bolts, and/or nuts in a closely-spaced or closed-geometrical pattern such as a triangle, square, rectangle, or circle. The single-wire method may also be used on parts in electrical systems and in places that are difficult to reach. (See figures 7-3 and 7-3a.)
b. When using double-twist method of
safety wiring, .032 inch minimum diameter wire should be used on parts that have a hole diameter larger than .045 inch. Safety wire of .020 inch diameter (double strand) may be used on parts having a nominal hole diameter between .045 and .062 inch with a spacing between parts of less than 2 inches. When using the single-wire method, the largest size wire that the hole will accommodate should be used. Copper wire (.020 inch diameter), aluminum wire (.031 inch diameter), or other similar wire called for in specific technical orders, should be used as seals on equipment such as first-aid kits, portable fire extinguishers, emergency valves, or oxygen regulators.
CAUTION: Care should be taken not to confuse steel with aluminum wire.
c. A secure seal indicates that the component has not been opened. Some emergency devices require installation of brass or soft |

7-124. SAFETY-WIRING PROCEDURES.
There are many combinations of safety wiring with certain basic rules common to all applications. These rules are as follows.
a. When bolts, screws, or other parts are
closely grouped, it is more convenient to safety wire them in series. The number of bolts, nuts, screws, etc., that may be wired together depends on the application.
b. Drilled boltheads and screws need not be safety wired if installed with self-locking nuts. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c. To prevent failure due to rubbing or vibration, safety wire must be tight after installation.
d. Safety wire must be installed in a manner that will prevent the tendency of the part to loosen.
e. Safety wire must never be over-stressed. Safety wire will break under vibrations if twisted too tightly. Safety wire must be pulled taut when being twisted, and maintain a light tension when secured. (See figure 7-3a.)
f. Safety-wire ends must be bent under and inward toward the part to avoid sharp or projecting ends, which might present a safety hazard.
g. Safety wire inside a duct or tube must not cross over or obstruct a flow passage when an alternate routing can be used.
(1) Check the units to be safety wired to make sure that they have been correctly tor-qued, and that the wiring holes are properly aligned to each other. When there are two or more units, it is desirable that the holes in the units be aligned to each other. Never overtor-que or loosen to obtain proper alignment of the holes. It should be possible to align the wiring holes when the bolts are torqued within the specified limits. Washers may be used (see paragraph 7-37) to establish proper alignment. However, if it is impossible to obtain a proper alignment of the holes without undertorquing or overtorquing, try another bolt which will permit proper alignment within the specified torque limits.
(2) To prevent mutilation of the twisted section of wire, when using pliers, grasp the wires at the ends. Safety wire must not be nicked, kinked, or mutilated. Never twist the wire ends off with pliers; and, when cutting off |
ends, leave at least four to six complete turns (1/2 to 5/8 inch long) after the loop. When removing safety wire, never twist the wire off with pliers. Cut the safety wire close to the hole, exercising caution.
h. Install safety wire where practicable with the wire positioned around the head of the bolt, screw, or nut, and twisted in such a manner that the loop of the wire fits closely to the contour of the unit being safety wired.
7-125. TWISTING WITH SPECIAL TOOLS. Twist the wire with a wire twister as follows. (See figure 7-4.)
CAUTION: When using wire twisters, and the wire extends 3 inches beyond the jaws of the twisters, loosely wrap the wire around the pliers to prevent whipping and possible personal injury. Excessive twisting of the wire will weaken the wire.
a. Grip the wire in the jaws of the wire twister and slide the outer sleeve down with your thumb to lock the handles or lock the spring-loaded pin.
b. Pull the knob, and the spiral rod spins and twists the wire.
c. Squeeze handles together to release wire.
7-126. SECURING OIL CAPS, DRAIN
COCKS, AND VALVES. (See figure 7-4a.) When securing oil caps and drain cocks, the safety wire should be anchored to an adjacent fillister-head screw. This method of safety wiring is applied to wingnuts, filler plugs, single-drilled head bolts, fillister-head screws, etc.; which are safety wired individually. When securing valve handles in the vertical position, the wire is looped around the threads of the pipe leading into one side of the valve, |

double-twisted around the valve handle, and anchored around the threads of the pipe leading into the opposite side of the valve. When castellated nuts are to be secured with safety wire, tighten the nut to the low side of the selected torque range, unless otherwise specified; and, if necessary, continue tightening until a slot lines with the hole. In blind tapped hole applications of bolts or castellated nuts on studs, the safety wiring should be in accordance with the general instructions of this chapter. Hollow-head bolts are safetied in the manner prescribed for regular bolts.
NOTE: Do not loosen or tighten properly tightened nuts to align safety-wire holes.
NOTE: Although there are numerous safety wiring techniques used to secure aircraft hardware, practically all are derived from the basic examples shown in figures 7-5 through 7-5b. |

Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 apply to all types of bolts, fillister-head screws, square-head plugs, and other similar parts which are wired so that the loosening tendency of either part is counteracted by tightening of the other part. The direction of twist from the second to the third unit is counterclockwise in examples 1, 3, and 4 to keep the loop in position against the head of the bolt. The direction of twist from the second to the third unit in example 2 is clockwise to keep the wire in position around the second unit. The wire entering the hole in the third unit will be the lower wire, except example 2, and by making a counterclockwise twist after it leaves the hole, the loop will be secured in place around the head of that
bolt. |

7-127. SECURING WITH COTTER PINS.
a. Cotter pins are used to secure such items as bolts, screws, pins, and shafts. Their use is favored because they can be removed and installed quickly. The diameter of the cotter pins selected for any application should be the largest size that will fit consistent with the diameter of the cotter pin hole and/or the slots in the nut. Cotter pins should not be reused on aircraft.
b. To prevent injury during and after pin installation, the end of the cotter pin can be rolled and tucked.
NOTE: In using the method of cotter pin safetying, as shown in figures 7-6 and 7-7, ensure the prong, bent over the bolt, is seated firmly against the bolt shank, and does not exceed bolt diameter. Also, when the prong is bent over the nut, ensure the bent prong is down and firmly flat against the nut and does not contact the surface of the washer. |

SECTION 8. INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF CONTROL CABLES
AND TURNBUCKLES |
|
|
|
|
|
7-140. GENERAL. Aircraft control cables are generally fabricated from carbon steel or corrosion-resistant steel wire of either flexible or nonflexible-type construction.
7-141. CABLE DEFINITIONS. The following cable components are defined in accordance with Military Specifications MIL-W-83420, MIL-C-18375, and MIL-W-87161.
a. Wire Center. The center of all strands shall be an individual wire and shall be designated as a wire center.
b. Strand Center or Core. A strand center is a single, straight strand made of preformed wires, similar to the other strands comprising the cable, in arrangement and number of wires.
c. Independent Wire Rope Center (IWRC) 7 by 7. A 7 by 7 independent wire rope center as specified herein shall consist of a cable or wire rope of six strands of seven wires each, twisted or laid around a strand center or core consisting of seven wires.
7-142. FLEXIBLE CABLES. Flexible, preformed, carbon steel, Type I, composition A cables, MIL-W-83420, are manufactured from steel made by the acid-open-hearth, basic-open hearth, or electric-furnace process. The wire used is coated with pure tin or zinc. Flexible, preformed, corrosion-resistant, Type I, composition B cables, MIL-W-87161,
MIL-W-83420, and MIL-C-18375 are manufactured from steel made by the electric-furnace process. (See table 7-3 and figure 7-8.) These cables are of the 3 by 7, 7 by 7, 7 by 19, or 6 by 19 IWRC construction, according to the diameter as specified in table 7-3. The 3 by 7 cable consists of three |
strands of seven wires each. There is no core in this construction. The 3 by 7 cable has a length of lay of not more than eight times or less than five times the nominal cable diameter. The 7 by 7 cable consists of six strands, of seven wires each, laid around a center strand of seven wires. The wires are laid so as to develop a cable which has the greatest bending and wearing properties. The 7 by 7 cable has a length of lay of not more than eight times or less than six times the cable diameter. The 7 by 19 cable consists of six strands laid around a center strand in a clockwise direction. The wires composing the seven individual strands are laid around a center wire in two layers. The center core strand consists of a lay of six wires laid around the central wire in a clockwise direction and a layer of 12 wires laid around this in a clockwise direction. The six outer strands of the cable consist of a layer of six wires laid around the center wire in a counterclockwise direction and a layer of 12 wires laid around this in a counterclockwise direction. The 6 by 19 cable consists of six strands of 19 wires each, laid around a 7 by 7. MIL-C-18375 cable, although not as strong as MIL-W-83420, is equal in corrosion resistance and superior in non-magnetic and coefficient of thermal expansion properties.
7-143. NYLON-COATED CABLES.
a. Nylon-coated cable is made by extruding a flexible nylon coating over corrosion-resistant steel (CRES) cable. The bare CRES cable must conform and be qualified to MIL-W-83420. After coating, the jacketed cable must still conform to MIL-W-83420.
b. The service life of nylon-coated cable
is much greater than the service life of the same cable when used bare. Most cable wear occurs at pulleys where the cable bends. Wear |

is caused by friction between strands and between wires. In bare cable, this is aggravated by dirt and grit working its way into the cable; and the lubricant working its way out leaving dry, dirty wires rubbing against each other. In long, straight runs of cable, vibration work-hardens the wires causing the brittle wires to fracture with eventual failure of the cable.
c. The nylon-jacket protects the cable in a threefold manner. It keeps the lubricant from oozing out and evaporating, it keeps dirt and grit out, and it dampens the vibrations, |
thereby, greatly reducing their effect on the cable.

to table 7-4 and figure 7-9.) Nonflexible, preformed, carbon steel cables, MIL-W-87161, composition A, are manufactured by the same processes as MIL-W-83420, composition B, flexible corrosion-resistant steel cables. The nonflexible steel cables are of the 1 by 7 (Type I) or 1 by 19 (Type II) construction according to the diameter as specified in table 7-4. The 1 by 7 cable consists of six |

7-147. REPLACEMENT OF CABLES.
Replace control cables when they become worn, distorted, corroded, or otherwise damaged. If spare cables are not available, prepare exact duplicates of the damaged cable. Use materials of the same size and quality as the original. Standard swaged cable terminals develop the full cable strength and may be substituted for the original terminals wherever practical. However, if facilities and supplies are limited and immediate corrective action is necessary, repairs may be made by using cable bushings, eye splices, and the proper combination of turnbuckles in place of the original installation. (See figure 7-12(c).)
a. Location of Splices. Locate splices so that no portion of the splice comes closer than 2 inches to any fair-lead or pulley. Locate connections at points where jamming cannot occur during any portion of the travel of either the loaded cable or the slack cable in the deflected position.
b. Cutting and Heating. Cut cables to length by mechanical means. The use of a torch, in any manner, is not permitted. Do not subject wires and cables to excessive temperature. Soldering the bonding braid to the control cable is not permitted.
c. Ball-and-Socket Type Terminals. Do
not use ball-and-socket type terminals or other types for general replacement that do not positively prevent cable untwisting, except where they were utilized on the original installation by the aircraft manufacturer.
d. Substitution of Cable. Substitution of cable for hard or streamlined wires will not be |
acceptable unless specifically approved by a representative of the FAA.
7-148. MECHANICALLY-FABRICATED CABLE ASSEMBLIES.
a. Swage-Type Terminals. Swage-type terminals, manufactured in accordance with AN, are suitable for use in civil aircraft up to, and including, maximum cable loads. When swaging tools are used, it is important that all the manufacturers' instructions, including "go and no-go" dimensions, be followed in detail to avoid defective and inferior swaging. Observance of all instructions should result in a terminal developing the full-rated strength of the cable. Critical dimensions, both before and after swaging, are shown in table 7-5.
(1) Terminals. When swaging terminals onto cable ends, observe the following procedures.
(a) Cut the cable to the proper length allowing for growth during swaging. Apply a preservative compound to the cable ends before insertion into the terminal barrel.
NOTE: Never solder cable ends to prevent fraying, since the presence of the solder will greatly increase the tendency of the cable to pull out of the terminal.
(b) Insert the cable into the terminal approximately 1 inch, and bend toward the terminal, then push the cable end entirely into the terminal barrel. The bending action puts a kink or bend in the cable end, and provides enough friction to hold the terminal in place until the swaging operation can be performed. Bending also tends to separate the strands inside the barrel, thereby reducing the strain on them. |

terminal bolted to a clevis terminal. (See figure 7-12(a).) However, this type of splice can only be used in free lengths of cable which do not pass over pulleys or through fair-leads. |

(4) Cable slippage in terminal. Ensure that the cable is properly inserted in the terminal after the swaging operation is completed. Instances have been noted wherein only 1/4 inch of the cable was swaged in the terminal. Observance of the following precautions should minimize this possibility.
(a) Measure the length of the terminal end of the fitting to determine the proper length of cable to be inserted into the barrel of the fitting.
(b) Lay off this length at the end of the cable and mark with masking tape. Since the tape will not slip, it will provide a positive marking during the swaging process.
(c) After swaging, check the tape marker to make certain that the cable did not slip during the swaging operation.
(d) Remove the tape and paint the junction of the swaged fitting and cable with red tape.
(e) At all subsequent service inspections of the swaged fitting, check for a gap in the painted section to see if cable slippage has occurred.
b. Nicopress Process. A patented process using copper sleeves may be used up to the full rated strength of the cable when the cable is looped around a thimble. This process may also be used in place of the five-tuck splice on |
|
|
Figure 7-12. Typical cable splices.
(3) Swaged ball terminals. On some aircraft cables, swaged ball terminals are used for attaching cables to quadrants and special connections where space is limited. Single shank terminals are generally used at the cable ends, and double shank fittings may be used at either the end or in the center of the cable. Dies are supplied with the swaging machines for attaching these terminals to cables by the following method.
(a) The steel balls and shanks have a hole through the center, and are slipped over the cable and positioned in the desired location.
(b) Perform the swaging operation in accordance with the instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the swaging equipment.
(c) Check the swaged fitting with a "go no-go" gauge to see that the fitting is properly compressed, and inspect the physical condition of the finished terminal. (See figure 7-13.) |

cables up to and including 3/8 inch diameter. The use of sleeves that are fabricated of materials other than copper will require engineering approval for the specific application by the FAA.
(1) Before undertaking a nicopress splice, determine the proper tool and sleeve for the cable to be used. Refer to table 7-6 and table 7-7 for details on sleeves, tools, and the number of presses required for the various sizes of aircraft cable. The tool must be in good working condition and properly adjusted to ensure a satisfactory splice.
(2) To compress a sleeve, have it well-centered in the tool groove with the major axis of the sleeve at right angles to the tool. If the sleeve appears to be out of line after the press is started, open the tool, re-center the sleeve, and complete the press.
c. Thimble-Eye Splice. Before undertaking a thimble-eye splice, initially position the cable so the end will extend slightly beyond the sleeve, as the sleeve will elongate somewhat when it is compressed. If the cable end is inside the sleeve, the splice may not hold the full strength of the cable. It is desirable that the oval sleeve be placed in close proximity to the thimble points, so that when compressed, the sleeve will contact the thimble as shown in figure 7-14. The sharp ends of the thimble may be cut off before being used; however, make certain the thimble is firmly secured in the cable loop after the splice has been completed. When using a sleeve requiring three compressions, make the center compression first, the compression next to the thimble second, and the one farthest from the thimble last.
d. Lap Splice. Lap or running splices may also be made with copper oval sleeves. When making such splices, it is usually necessary to use two sleeves to develop the full |
|
|
|

|
|
strength of the cable. The sleeves should be positioned as shown in figure 7-12(b), and the compressions made in the order shown. As in the case of eye splices, it is desirable to have the cable ends extend beyond the sleeves sufficiently to allow for the increased length of the compressed sleeves.
e. Stop Sleeves. Stop sleeves may be used for special cable end and intermediate fittings. They are installed in the same manner as nico-press oval sleeves.
NOTE: All stop sleeves are plain copper. Certain sizes are colored for identification.
f. Terminal Gauge. To make a satisfactory copper sleeve installation, it is important that the amount of sleeve pressure be kept uniform. The completed sleeves should be checked periodically with the proper gauge. Hold the gauge so that it contacts the major axis of the sleeve. The compressed portion at the center of the sleeve should enter the gauge opening with very little clearance, as shown in figure 7-15. If it does not, the tool must be adjusted accordingly.
g. Other Applications. The preceding information regarding copper oval sleeves and stop sleeves is based on tests made with flexible aircraft cable. The sleeves may also be |

7-149. CABLE SYSTEM INSPECTION.
Aircraft cable systems are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and deterioration. Wire or strand breakage is easy to visually recognize. Other kinds of deterioration such as wear, corrosion, and/or distortion are not easily seen; therefore, control cables should be removed periodically for a more detailed inspection.
a. At each annual or 100 hour inspection, all control cables must be inspected for broken wires strands. Any cable assembly that has one broken wire strand located in a critical fatigue area must be replaced.
b. A critical fatigue area is defined as the working length of a cable where the cable runs over, under, or around a pulley, sleeve, or through a fair-lead; or any section where the cable is flexed, rubbed, or worked in any manner; or any point within 1 foot of a swaged-on fitting.
c. A swaged-on fitting can be an eye, fork, ball, ball and shank, ball and double shank, threaded stud, threaded stud and turn-buckle, compression sleeve, or any hardware used as a termination or end fitting on the cable. These fittings may be attached by various swaging methods such as rotary swaging, roll swaging, hydraulic pressing, and hand swaging tools. (See MIL-T-781.) The pressures exerted on the fittings during the swaging process sometimes pinch the small wires in the cable. This can cause premature failure of the pinched wires, resulting in broken wires.
d. Close inspection in these critical fatigue areas, must be made by passing a cloth over the area to snag on broken wires. This will clean the cable for a visual inspection, and detect broken wires if the cloth snags on the cable. Also, a very careful visual inspection |
must be made since a broken wire will not always protrude or stick out, but may lie in the strand and remain in the position of the helix as it was manufactured. Broken wires of this type may show up as a hairline crack in the wire. If a broken wire of this type is suspected, further inspection with a magnifying glass of 7 power or greater, is recommended. Figure 7-16 shows a cable with broken wires that was not detected by wiping, but was found during a visual inspection. The damage became readily apparent when the cable was removed and bent as shown in figure 7-16. |
|
|
|
|
|
Figure 7-16. Cable inspection technique. |
|
|
e. Kinking of wire cable can be avoided if properly handled and installed. Kinking is caused by the cable taking a spiral shape as the result of unnatural twist. One of the most common causes for this twist is improper unreeling and uncoiling. In a kinked cable, strands and wires are out of position, which creates unequal tension and brings excessive wear at this part of the cable. Even though the kink may be straightened so that the damage appears to be slight, the relative adjustment between the strands has been disturbed so that the cable cannot give maximum service and should be replaced. Inspect cables for a popped core or loose strands. Replace any cable that has a popped core or loose strands regardless of wear or broken wires. |

f. Nylon-jacketed cable with any cracks or necking down in the diameter of the jacket shall be replaced. Usable cable life is over when these conditions begin to appear in the nylon jacket.
g. External wear patterns will extend along the cable equal to the distance the cable moves at that location and may occur on one side of the cable or on its entire circumference. Replace flexible and nonflexible cables when the individual wires in each strand appear to blend together (outer wires worn 40 to 50 percent) as depicted in figure 7-17. Actual instances of cable wear beyond the recommended replacement point are shown in figure 7-18. |
h. As wear is taking place on the exterior surface of a cable, the same condition is taking place internally, particularly in the sections of the cable which pass over pulleys and quadrants. This condition (shown in figure 7-19) is not easily detected unless the strands of the cable are separated. This type of wear is a result of the relative motion between inner wire surfaces. Under certain conditions, the rate of this type of wear can be greater than that occurring on the surface. |

i. Areas especially conducive to cable corrosion are battery compartments, lavatories, wheel wells, etc.; where a concentration of corrosive fumes, vapors, and liquids can accumulate. Carefully examine any cable for corrosion, when it has a broken wire in a section that is not in contact with a wear-producing airframe component, such as a pulley, fair-lead, etc. If the surface of the cable is corroded, relieve cable tension and carefully force the cable open by reverse twisting and visually inspect the interior. Corrosion on the interior strands of the cable constitutes failure, and the cable must be replaced. If no internal corrosion is detected, remove loose external rust and corrosion with a clean, dry, coarse-weave rag, or fiber brush. Do not use metallic |

actuate the controls and check for friction or hard movement. These are indications that excessive cable tension exists.
NOTE: If the control movement is stiff after maintenance is performed on control surfaces, check for parallel cables twisted around each other, or cables connected in reverse.
k. Check swaged terminal reference marks for an indication of cable slippage within the fitting. Inspect the fitting assembly for distortion and/or broken strands at the terminal. Ensure that all bearings and swivel fittings (bolted or pinned) pivot freely to prevent binding and subsequent failure. Check turn-buckles for proper thread exposure and broken or missing safety wires/clips.
l. Inspect pulleys for roughness, sharp edges, and presence of foreign material embedded in the grooves. Examine pulley bearings to ensure proper lubrication, smooth rotation; and freedom from flat spots, dirt, and paint spray. During the inspection, rotate the pulleys, which only turn through a small arc, to provide a new bearing surface for the cable. Maintain pulley alignment to prevent the cable from riding on the flanges and chafing against guards, covers, or adjacent structure. Check all pulley brackets and guards for damage, alignment, and security.
m. Various cable system malfunctions
may be detected by analyzing pulley conditions. These include such discrepancies as too much tension, misalignment, pulley bearing problems, and size mismatches between cables and pulleys. Examples of these condition are shown in figure 7-20. |

wool or solvents to clean installed cables. Use of metallic wool will embed dissimilar metal particles in the cables and create further corrosion problems. Solvents will remove internal cable lubricant allowing cable strands to abrade and further corrode. After thorough cleaning, sparingly apply specification MIL-C-16173, grade 4, corrosion-preventive compound to cable. Do not apply the material so thick that it will interfere with the operation of cables at fair-leads, pulleys, or grooved bellcrank areas.
j. Examine cable runs for incorrect routing, fraying, twisting, or wear at fair-leads, pulleys, antiabrasion strips, and guards. Look for interference with adjacent structure, equipment, wiring, plumbing, and other controls. Inspect cable systems for binding, full travel, and security of attaching hardware. Check for slack in the cable system by attempting to move the control column and/or pedals while the gust locks are installed on the control surfaces. With the gust locks removed, |

n. Inspect fair-leads for wear, breakage, alignment, cleanliness, and security. Examine cable routing at fair-leads to ensure that defection angles are no greater than 3°€maximum. Determine that all guides and anti-abrasion strips are secure and in good condition.
o. Examine pressure seals for wear and/or material deterioration. Seal guards should be positioned to prevent jamming of a pulley in case pressure seal fails and pieces slide along the cable.

wipe off any excess. It should be noted that corrosion-resistant steel cable does not require this treatment for rust prevention.
b. Lubrication and corrosion preventive treatment of carbon steel cables may be effected simultaneously by application of compound MIL-C-16173, grade 4, or
MIL-C-11796, Class I. MIL-C-16173 compound should be brushed, sprayed, or wiped on the cable to the extent it penetrates into the strands and adequately covers the cable surfaces. It will dry "tack free" in 24 hours at 77 °F. MIL-C-11796 compound is applied by dipping the cable for 1/2 minute into a tank of compound heated to 77 ° ± 5 °C (170 ° ± 9 °F) for 1/2 minute then removing it and wiping off the excess oil. (An example of cable corrosion, attributable to battery acid, is shown in
figure 7-21.) |

7-152. CABLE MAINTENANCE. Frequent inspections and preservation measures such as rust-prevention treatments for bare carbon steel cable areas, will help to extend cable service life. Where cables pass through fair-leads, pressure seals, or over pulleys, remove accumulated heavy coatings of corrosion-prevention compound. Provide corrosion protection for these cable sections by lubricating with a light coat of grease or general-purpose, low-temperature oil. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7-151. WIRE SPLICES. Standard manufacturing splices have been mistaken for defects in the cable because individual wire end splices were visible after assembly of a finished cable length. In some instances, the process of twisting outer strands around the core strand may also slightly flatten individual outer wires, particularly in the area of a wire splice. This flattening is the result of die-sizing the cable, and does not affect the strength of the cable. These conditions (as shown in figure 7-22) are normal, and are not a cause for cable rejection. |
7-153. CABLE TENSION ADJUSTMENT. Carefully adjust, control cable tension in accordance with the airframe manufacturer's recommendations. On large aircraft, take the temperature of the immediate area into consideration when using a tension meter. For long cable sections, use the average of two or three temperature readings to obtain accurate tension values. If necessary, compensate for extreme surface temperature variations that may be encountered if the aircraft is operated primarily in unusual geographic or climatic conditions such as arctic, arid, or tropic locations. Use rigging pins and gust locks, as necessary, to ensure satisfactory results. At the completion of rigging operations, check turnbuckle adjustment and safetying in accordance with section 10 of this chapter.

7-165. GENERAL. A turnbuckle is a device used in cable systems to provide a means of adjusting tension. Turnbuckles have barrel-shaped sleeves with internal left- and right-hand threads at opposite ends. The cables, with terminals attached, are made to such a length that, when the turnbuckle is adjusted to give the specified cable tension, a sufficient number of threads on the terminal ends are screwed into the barrel to hold the load. The clip-locking turnbuckle and its associated parts are identical to standard AN and MS parts except for a slot grooved on the interior of the barrel and the shanks of the forks, eyes, etc. The clip-locking turnbuckle parts have the following drawing numbers: MS21251, turn-buckle body; MS21252, turnbuckle clevis end; MS21253, turnbuckle clevis end (for bearing); NAS649 and NAS651, turnbuckle clip; MS21254 and NAS648, turnbuckle eye (for pin); MS21255 and NAS647, turnbuckle eye end (for wire rope); NAS645 and NAS646, turnbuckle fork; MS21256, turnbuckle barrel locking clip; AN130-170, turnbuckle assemblies; and, MS21259 and MS21260, terminal, wire rope, stud.
NOTE: Turnbuckles showing signs of thread distortion/bending should be replaced. Turnbuckle ends are designed for providing the specified cable tension on a cable system, and a bent turnbuckle would place undesirable stress on the cable, impairing the function of the turnbuckle. |
7-166. TURNBUCKLE INSTALLATION.
(See figure 7-25.) When installing cable system turnbuckles, it is necessary to screw both threaded terminals into the turnbuckle barrel an equal amount. It is essential that turnbuckle terminals be screwed into the barrel so that not more than three threads on the terminal are exposed. (See figure 7-23A.) On initial installation, the turnbuckle terminals should not be screwed inside the turnbuckle barrel more than four threads. (See figure 7-23B.) |

7-167. WITNESS HOLE. Some manufacturers of turnbuckles incorporate a "witness hole," in the turnbuckle barrel to ensure that the threaded cable terminals are screwed in far enough into the barrel. The "witness hole" can be inspected visually, or by using a piece of safety wire as a probe.

SECTION 10. SAFETY METHODS FOR TURNBUCKLES |
|
|
|
|
|
7-179. GENERAL. Safety all turnbuckles with safety wire using either the double or single-wrap method, or with any appropriately approved special safetying device complying with the requirements of FAA Technical Standard Order TSO-C21. The swaged and un-swaged turnbuckle assemblies are covered by AN standard drawings. Do not reuse safety wire. Adjust the turnbuckle to the correct cable tension so that no more than three cable threads are exposed on either side of the turn-buckle barrel.
7-180. DOUBLE-WRAP METHOD. Of
the methods using safety wire for safetying turnbuckles, the method described here is preferred, although either of the other methods described is satisfactory. The method of double-wrap safetying is shown in figure 7-26(A).
a. Use two separate lengths of wire. Run one end of the wire through the hole in the barrel of the turnbuckle and bend the ends of the wire toward opposite ends of the turnbuckle.
b. Pass the second length of the wire into the hole in the barrel and bend the ends along the barrel on the side opposite the first. Spiral the two wires in opposite directions around the barrel to cross each other twice between the center hole and the ends.
c. Then pass the wires at the end of the
turnbuckle in opposite directions through the hole in the turnbuckle eyes or between the jaws of the turnbuckle fork, as applicable, laying one wire along the barrel and wrapping the other at least four times around the shank of the turnbuckle and binding the laid wires in place before cutting the wrapped wire off. |
d. Wrap the remaining length of safety wire at least four turns around the shank and cut it off. Repeat the procedure at the opposite end of the turnbuckle.
e. When a swaged terminal is being safetied, pass the ends of both wires through the hole provided in the terminal for this purpose and wrap both ends around the shank as previously described. If the hole is not large enough to allow passage of both wires, pass the wire through the hole and loop it over the free end of the other wire, and then wrap both ends around the shank as previously described. Another satisfactory double-wrap method is similar to the previous method, except that the spiraling of the wires is omitted as shown in
figure 7-26(B).
7-181. SINGLE-WRAP METHOD. The
single-wrap methods described in the following paragraphs and as illustrated in figure 7-26(C) and (D) are acceptable, but are not the equal of the double-wrap methods.
a. Pass a single length of wire through the cable eye or fork, or through the hole in the swaged terminal at either end of the turnbuckle assembly. Spiral each of the wire ends in opposite directions around the first half of the turnbuckle barrel, so as to cross each other twice. Thread both wire ends through the hole in the middle of the barrel so that the third crossing of wire ends is in the hole, again, spiral the two wire ends in opposite directions around the remaining half of the turnbuckle, crossing them twice. Then, pass one wire end through the cable eye or fork, or through the hole in the swaged terminals, in the manner previously described. Wrap both wire ends around the shank for at least four turns each, cutting off excess wire. This method is shown
in figure 7-26(C). |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b. For the method shown in figure
7-26D, pass one length of wire through the center hole of the turnbuckle and bend the wire ends toward opposite ends of the turnbuckle. Then pass each wire end through the cable eye or fork, or through the hole in the swaged terminal, and wrap each wire around the shank for at least four turns, cutting off excess wire. After safetying, no more than three threads of the turnbuckle threaded terminal should be exposed.
7-182. SAFETY-WIRE SECURED TURNBUCKLES. (See figure 7-27.) Before
securing turnbuckles, threaded terminals |
should be screwed into the turnbuckle barrel until no more than three threads of either terminal are outside the barrel. After the turn-buckle has been adjusted for proper cable tension, two pieces of safety wire are inserted, half the wire length into the hole in the center of the turnbuckle barrel. The safety-wires are bent so that each wire extends half the length of the turnbuckle on top and half on bottom. The ends of the wires are passed through the hole in the turnbuckle eyes or between the jaws of the turnbuckle fork, as applicable. The wires are then bent toward the center of the turnbuckle and each wire is wrapped around |

|
the shank four times, binding the wrapping wires in place as shown in figure 7-27.
a. When a swaged terminal is being secured, one wire is passed through the hole in the terminal and is looped over the free end of the other wire and both ends wrapped around the shank. All lock wire used in the safetying of turnbuckles should be carbon steel, corrosion-resistant steel, nickel-chromium iron alloy (inconel), nickel-copper alloy (monel) or aluminum alloy. For safety cable diameter of safety wire size and material, refer to table 7-8.
b. Care should be exercised when safety wiring, particularly where corrosion will present a problem, because smaller wire sizes tend to crack when twisted. |
7-183. SPECIAL LOCKING DEVICES.
Several turnbuckle locking devices are available for securing turnbuckle barrels such as wire-locking clips. Persons intending to use a special device must ensure the turnbuckle assembly has been designed to accommodate such devices. A typical unit is shown in figure 7-28. When special locking devices are not readily available, the use of safety wire is acceptable.
7-184. ASSEMBLING AND SECURING CLIP-LOCKING TURNBUCKLES. (See table 7-9 and figure 7-29.) Wire clip-locking turnbuckles are assembled and secured in the following ways.
a. Engage threads of turnbuckle barrel with threads of cable terminal and turn barrel until proper cable tension is reached.
b. Align slot in barrel with slot in cable terminal.
c. Hold lock clip between thumb and forefinger at loop end and insert straight end of clip into opening formed by aligned slots.
d. Bring hook end of lock clip over hole in center of turnbuckle barrel and seat hook loop into hole.
e. Apply pressure to hook shoulder to engage hook lip in turnbuckle barrel and to complete safety locking of one end of turnbuckle.
NOTE: Repeat the above steps to safety lock the opposite end of turn-buckle. Both lock clips may be inserted in the same turnbuckle barrel hole or they may be inserted in opposite holes. However, do not reverse wire locking clips |
