i) conform to any special installation and/or tightening sequences specified on the drawing. The process is not generally applicable when one or both of the components are thin and/or bonded.
ii) ensure that the joint has slave bolts/final fasteners securely clamping the joint on either side of the fastener to be installed.
iii) Prior to driving or pulling the bolts into the holes sealant / jointing compound should be applied to the underhead region of the bolt (ref. Note 1 above Para 3.1.1). In addition where bolts are supplied without lubricant (ref: paragraph 1.6) the shanks should be lubricated in accordance with the requirements of ABP 1-4327.
Boelube 70305 paste in addition to bolt lubrication described in ABP 1-4327 is permitted for use subject to the following limitations:
a) To be used on cadmium plated alloy steel bolts of ½” diameter and above.
b) To be used on bolts with T/D ratio of 2.5 and above –
(T= joint thickness and D =bolt diameter).
c) Lubrication shall be applied to bore and bolt shank only. Any contamination to
surrounding areas and to the bolt thread shall be carefully removed using Airbus
approved cleaning agents and procedures
d) Boelube paste shall only be used where the drawing requires cadmium plated
bolts to be inserted under interference fit conditions through aluminium
containing assemblies.
iv) Where the drawing, fastener type or joint configuration (i.e. stack thickness ≥ 3D) calls for the use of ‘pull-in’ installation procedures reference should be made to the additional requirements specified in Appendix E. In all other cases the bolt should be carefully driven into place using a suitable riveting gun or dolly, taking care to ensure that neither the bolt nor the surface of the part is damaged.
3.1.6 Ensure that the head of the bolt is correctly seated in accordance with ABP2-2336.
3.1.7 Remove all sealant/jointing compound from the bolt threads by wiping with a clean ‘Kimwipe’ tissue moistened with ABR 9-0140 or other approved solvent. See Appendix A.
3.1.8 Check that the bolt protrusion through the joint is within gauging limits as detailed in Appendix D. (Compliance with these gauging instructions will determine whether a bolt with the lead in radius intruded slightly into the holes, shall be accepted). The removal of fastener threads to achieve protrusion tolerances is strictly prohibited.

4. INSPECTION
The Inspection function shall verify that: -
4.1 Hole geometries conform to drawing call-up requirements or for high interference fasteners the requirements specified in Appendix E
4.2 When requested by Manufacturing function (see Para 3.1.12), the correct length bolt has been used, by checking and approving the trial fastener installation prior to completing the assembly. (See Paras 4.3 & 4.4 below, and procedure specified in Appendix D).
Note: Where, due to the accumulation of tolerances, the grip length of the bolt called for on the drawing is not correct, Inspection function may allow a substitution without reference back to the Airbus UK Design Authority subject to the following limitations: -
a) That the variation is not more than one grip size.
b) That the requirement of Para 3.1.9 is satisfied.
c) Where this replacement occurs repeatedly on a joint, the Airbus UK Design Authority shall be advised in order that drawing amendment can be considered.
d) No variation of bolt length is permitted for interchangeable parts without Airbus UK Design Authority approval.
4.3 Bolt protrusion is within the gauging dimensions as detailed in Appendix D. This will ensure that a minimum of one thread pitch protrudes beyond the nut and that the fully formed threads of the bolt engage the nut locking element.

FIG. 1 (Typical for all Gauges)
2 GAUGE PROCEDURE
(1) Centre gauge over bolt at “Touch No-Go” end. (Fig. 2)
(2) If bolt touches top of “Touch No-Go” gauge - reject.
(3) If bolt does not touch, reverse gauge to “Touch-Go” end and check.
(4) If bolt touches top of “Touch-Go” gauge (Fig. 3) - accept
(5) If bolt does not touch top of “Touch-Go” gauge with legs on structures - reject.
Note 1: It could be possible on a specific joint thickness when a bolt is on maximum limits that the bolt will be rejectable to the requirements of Para 2 (2) and substituting with a bolt of the next shorter grip which is on minimum limits that it will be rejectable to the requirements of Para 2 (5).
In this situation the shorter bolt is acceptable provided the gap between the Touch-Go part of the gauge and the end of the bolt does not exceed 0.010 inch.
No similar relaxation i.e. the legs of the Touch-No Go gauge not contacting the structure, is allowable for bolts rejectable to Para 2 (2) because of the possibility of bolt thread bonding in the nut counterbore and consequent loss of clamping.

Note 2: If an installation is rejected based on the requirements of paragraph 2, sub-section (5). The nut shall be removed and the fastener shall be visually checked for full grip length. If the thread run-out/lead-in radius at the transition between the plain shank and thread is completely through the joint, the installation is acceptable providing it is compliant with the requirements of paragraph 2, sub-section (2).

APPENDIX E CONT’D
2. TOOLING REQUIREMENTS:
2.1 These special installation instructions refer to the direct pull-in installation of break-stem (ABS0807K and ABS0907K) type fasteners as detailed in Figure 2 and the pull-in installation of point-drive (ABS0809, ABS0810, ABS0811VHK, ABS0812VHK and ABS0876L) fasteners using thread-in mandrel attachments as detailed in Figure 3.
2.2 It is the responsibility of the manufacturing or production engineering function to ensure that installation tools and pull-in loads appropriate to the fastener type and size are selected. Recommended tooling and maximum pull-in loads are defined in table 2. To prevent damage to the structure always select a pull-in gun that is set to the minimum calibration load.
2.3 The use of pull-in gun nose-cap extensions or collars to prevent damage or witness marking on the structure is acceptable providing the tooling does not foul or cause damage to the fastener during the installation process.
3. PULL-IN INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation methods shall be such as to avoid damage to the surrounding structure or assembly. Cases where protective treatments have been removed shall be re-treated in accordance with drawing specifications or the requirements of ABP 0-1013.
3.2 Where the fastener design calls for the use of a mandrel, it is at the discretion of the manufacturing or production engineering function whether the mandrel is installed prior to or after the fastener is offered and aligned with the hole. Care should be taken to ensure that the mandrel and fastener pull-in thread are clean and free from damage prior to installation (Note: mandrels can be re-used). The mandrel should be fully threaded (Left-Hand Thread) into the fastener ensuring that threads are fully engaged.
3.3 Where the drawing calls for high interference fit installations holes and hole entrance shall be lubricated with Boelube 70305 paste before fastener installation, taking care to ensure that the hole is clean and free from swarf and excess sealant before lubricant is applied. Prior to bolt installation all traces of Boelube 70305 shall be removed from the structure at the surface where the bolt head seats.
3.4 Once the fastener has been offered and aligned with the hole (and where appropriate the mandrel installed) the pull-gun grips should be engaged with the mandrel or pull stem (see Figure 2), ensuring that the fastener, tooling and hole remain axially aligned. The pull-gun unit should then be operated to pull the fastener into position.

ISSUE 6
APPENDIX E CONT’D
3.5 If the fastener grip length exceeds the mandrel working length several pull-in operations may be required. A nose-cap extension or collar may be required to prevent fouling between the fastener and pull-in tooling. If the pull-in gun calibration load is insufficient to ensure full fastener installation the gun can be replaced with a gun having a higher calibration setting.
3.6 Pull-in fasteners shall not be used in carbon/CFRP interference holes.
4. MANDREL / STEM REMOVAL AND NUT INSTALLATION
4.1. Following bolt installation the pull-in gun shall be detached from the bolt stem or mandrel taking care to ensure that no damage occurs to the structure or bolt or to the associated pull-in tooling (gun, mandrel and nose piece extensions). Checks should then be made to ensure that the bolt head is properly seated in accordance with the requirements of ABP2-2336.
4.2. Once a satisfactory installation has been confirmed the mandrel should be removed ensuring that no damage occurs to the fastener or thread. For break-stem fasteners (ABS0807K and ABS0907K) the stem is removed from the main body of the fastener by a sharp bending or levering action designed to cause fracture in the necked region immediately below the thread, and applied using the gun / nose piece extension or other appropriate tooling (Figure 2). During this operation care should be taken to ensure that no damage occurs to the fastener, thread or surrounding structure.
4.3. Prior to nut installation remove excess sealant / lubricant from the threads with a clean cloth and check that the fastener protrusion meets the requirements defined in Appendix D table 3.
4.4. Install the nut using the procedures defined in this specification conforming to the torque tightening requirements detailed in Appendix C and ensuring that drawing invoked sealing instructions (e.g. ABP 4-5141 / ABP 4-5142) are observed.
5. DOCUMENTATION 5.1. The manufacturing or production engineering function shall generate supporting
manufacturing documentation to define:-
a. Detailed tooling set-up b. Part handling fixture requirements c. Detailed operator instructions with the correct installation and inspection sequences to
comply with the requirements of this specification.
