HYTORC Washer
Injury free bolt tightening made easy
Page last modified
April 11 2024
The HYTORC Washer allows for more accurate, faster and safer bolt tightening as it simplifies the bolting set-up by removing the need for a reaction arm. This removes the well known pinching hazard and eliminates the risk of personal injury.
The HYTORC Washer can be used vertically and upside-down, with both ratchet links and socket wrenches and prevents galling and a damaged flange surface.
The use of HYTORC Washers is recommended by the ASME according to guidelines PCC-1-2013, VDI2230 and API.
