During tightening, it is recommended that the nut is turned rather than the bolt head and that the bolts be crosstorqued until the required torque has been achieved to obtain an even pressure on the structural insulation. To ensure that the bolts are properly crosstorqued by checking the spacing (B) between the ears to be approximately the same.
