RE: Torque loading of panel

maybe I'm not understanding your post, but you don't torque a cam-loc (the way you torque a bolt ... you just install the cam-loc fastener into the receptical.

Hi.. thanks for the prompt reply..  On some aircraft panel, we're using ziploc fastener (hexagonal stud and square receptacle) and cam-loc fastener (same type of square receptacle but torque bit stud).. And all these fasteners requires a torque loading of 30-35 inch pound.  My question is, why do all these panel need torque loading or in general, why there is a need of torque loading?  Izit becos these are stress panel or...??

Thanks!
