# Tightening of Threaded Connections

The tightening torques indicated in the exploded views list in ServAid (see Spare parts section in https://servaid.atlascopco.com) are established to achieve the correct clamping force and prevent the parts from coming loose.

When servicing these parts, they must be able to open up without being destroyed. In special circumstances (depending on application and usage) the parts may however come loose after some time of operation. In such cases the torque can be increased by 10-20%. If necessary, a low or medium threadlocking fluid can also be applied.
