Inspection Data
A properly installed C50L fastener will incorporate the dimensional characteristics tabulated below. Should the dimensions ‘A’ or ‘B’ exceed the indicated
values, the fastener is being used out-of-grip. A ‘C’ dimension less than the values specified is an indication of incomplete swage. A ‘D’ dimension exceed-
ing the tabulated values is an indication of an incorrect or worn anvil on the installation tool. The ‘A’ dimension can be increased to 1/8 and still meet all
published values, provided there is no requirement to meet ASTM specifications pertaining to locking grooves (threads) in the shear plane.

The Benefits of Huck Fastening Systems

Huck fastening systems deliver a number of important benefits,
making them the worldwide leader.
• Easy to use – consistent accuracy with little operator • High clamp performance – typically much higher than with
training required conventional fasteners
• High productivity – reducing installation time by 25% to 50% • Durability – extremely high clamp force retention, with 10%
• Reduced QC procedures – a visual inspection is sufficient to verify to 20% greater fatigue life than conventional threaded fasteners
a correct installation

Alcoa Fastening Systems Commercial Products: A Global Organization
