ASTM A563

The ASTM A563 specification covers the chemical and mechanical requirements for carbon and alloy steel nuts used on bolts, studs, and externally threaded fasteners. The charts below address over tapping allowances for hot-dip galvanized nuts, grade marking requirements, and mechanical requirements.

According to the A563 specification, “The requirements for any grade of nut may, at the supplier’s option, and with notice to the purchaser, be fulfilled by furnishing nuts of one of the stronger grades specified herein unless such a substitution is barred in the inquiry and purchase order”. This is important because some nut grades are not readily available in certain sizes and finishes. Additionally, the specification allows for the substitution of ASTM A194 grade 2H nuts in lieu of A563 grade DH nuts due to the lack of availability of grade DH nuts in nominal sizes 3/4″ and larger.

Hot-dip galvanized nuts must be tapped oversize to allow for the added thickness of the zinc on the threads of the externally threaded fastener. These allowances are addressed in the chart below.

Various nut styles exist and to some degree are determined by their grade. These styles include hex, heavy hex, square, jam, coupling, and sleeve.

B Carbon steel, hex or heavy hex
C Carbon steel, quenched and tempered, heavy hex

    KAPTI NUT® installation in four steps:

    1. KAPTI NUT® fasteners are installed in a panel with a pre-pierced hole, by a single bow from a conventional press simple die tool underneath. The panel and the KAPTI NUT® are located onto the die pin. The taper on the pin centralises the panel hole and the KAPTI NUT®. This ensures the accuracy of positioning attributed to the KAPTI NUT®. The die pin is spring loaded and retracts into the die whilst maintaining the fastening position.

    2. The KAPTI NUT® is pressed through the panel forming a tapered flange on the back. It is this formed flange which makes the panel rigid and contributes to the overall performance of the fastening.

    3. When the KAPTI NUT® meets the internal form of the die tool, the leading edge is rolled back on itself to meet the flange. This creates a mechanical locking between the fastener and the panel. The unique square profile and radial splines interlock with the panel flange to provide a secure anti-rotational device. The top of the KAPTI NUT® is now flush with the panel. These three fundamental characteristics can be visually inspected eliminating any concerns around structural integrity.

    4. The two parts are now locked providing a high strength threaded attachment point which can be used from either side.

    Timing Belt Replacement
    Installation
    1.Install No. 2 idler pulley (if removed). Install and tighten bolt to specification. Ensure idler pulley is clean and rotates smoothly.

    2.Install No. 1 idler pulley and tension spring (if removed). Pry No. 1 idler pulley away from timing belt area as far as possible. Temporarily tighten No. 1 idler pulley bolt. Ensure idler pulley is clean and rotates smoothly.

    3.Using crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate crankshaft so timing mark on crankshaft sprocket aligns with timing mark on oil pump housing. See. This will position keyway in crankshaft sprocket at 12 o’clock position.

    CAUTION:If reusing timing belt, ensure reference marks on timing belt align with reference marks placed on crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. Ensure timing belt is installed in original direction of rotation.

    4.Ensure all sprockets and idler pulleys are clean. Install timing belt on crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket, No. 1 idler pulley, and then No. 2 idler pulley in sequence.

    5.Install timing belt guide with cupped side away from crankshaft sprocket and flat side toward timing belt. Install No. 1 timing belt cover and new gasket.

    6.Align crankshaft pulley key groove with key in crankshaft. Install crankshaft pulley. Install and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt to specification.

    7.Rotate crankshaft clockwise so cylinder No. 1 is at TDC on compression stroke. Ensure timing mark on crankshaft pulley aligns with mark on No. 1 timing belt cover. If reusing timing belt, ensure reference mark on timing belt aligns with upper edge of No. 1 timing belt cover.

    8.Rotate camshaft, and align hole in camshaft sprocket with alignment mark on camshaft bearing cap. Install timing belt on camshaft sprocket. If reusing timing belt, ensure reference mark on timing belt aligns with the reference mark on camshaft sprocket. Ensure tension exists on timing belt between the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets.

    CAUTION:DO NOT rotate crankshaft counterclockwise, as viewed from timing belt end of engine.

    9.Loosen No. 1 idler pulley bolt 1/2 turn. Rotate crankshaft pulley 2 full revolutions clockwise from TDC to TDC. 10.Ensure timing mark on crankshaft pulley aligns with "0" mark on No. 1 timing belt cover, and hole in camshaft sprocket aligns with alignment mark on camshaft bearing cap. If timing marks are not aligned, remove timing belt and reinstall. 11.Rotate crankshaft clockwise 1 and 7/8 revolutions and align crankshaft pulley mark with 45-degree Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) mark on No. 1 timing belt cover.

    12.Tighten No. 1 idler pulley bolt to specification. Install No. 2 timing belt cover and gaskets. Install and tighten spark plugs to specification.

    13.To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Install all bolts/nuts on right (timing belt side) engine mount before tightening to specification.

    14.On Camry, when installing control rod and bracket on strut tower and right (timing belt side engine mount, tighten bolts to specification in sequence.
