For the injector faceplate to stay fastened to the manifold, the bolts must satisfy a factor of safety for both tensile and shear stress. A net upward pressure acting on the faceplate applied to the area of the injector requires all bolts on the injector manifold -both axial and radial- to withstand this force to maintain structural integrity.
