Rubber Fab Torque-Rite 50 in./lbs Force Nut

Torque-Rite® allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant in/lbs force, ensuring a Perfect Surface I.C. when used with a Perfect Surface Gasket. Torque-Rite® eliminates the problems associated with over or under-tightened a gasket, which can lead to an unsanitary system. Problems with over-tightening or under-tightening a gasket: Over-tightening can tear or damage a gasket and can also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline. A torn or extruded gasket can hold soil and bacteria. Under-tightening leaves and undesirable concave area at the gasket, allowing soil and bacteria to become entrapped. Both conditions should be avoided in a sanitary system.
