Problem:

In order to properly torque the standard nuts that were formerly used on this application, heating rods were used. This method of bolting is inaccurate, time consuming and unsafe. Due to improper bolt loading oil seeped up the stud holes and between sealing surfaces (the latter causing damage to the mating surfaces) Average installation time 8 hours.

Solution:

SuperboltÒ Torquenuts eliminate the need for dangerous methods of installation, creating a desired amount of torque using only simple hand tools! Because of even tension around the flange and proper bolt load provided by the Torquenuts, oil waste was eliminated.

Installation time: 2 hours
