Hello there, I am working in a "curtain wall" project for a building that is being installed at this time and I need to know how can I specify the torque needed for a steel bolt against aluminum extrusions, this is the 1/2" grade
5 typical anchor bolt and has to compress the aluminum anchor with the vertical aluminum "mullion".
I would appreciate any quick response.
