Default Front caliper bolt torque question

Putting some new brake pads on my 15 Z06 and have a question. There is a bolt that reinforces the front caliper halves that must be removed to pull the front pads. Is there a specific torque value when replacing it? Did not find any info when I searched. Photo attached pointing at bolt. Thanks in advance!

22 ft lbs is the information I received and used. Don't forget thread locker

I haven't found a need for thread locker. Tightened to the spec the bolt holds very well. It takes some force to remove it.
