I am a graduate engineer and have been reviewing steel framing shop drawings for a project. I've noticed that the fabricator has noted on the connection details the following: "Fingertight & damage threads after installing". The members being connected are HSS, angles and WF with A325N bolts with long and short-slotted holes.
I wonder what is the idea behind damaging the threads after installation?
