Description

The Rubber Fab Torque Rite Nut provides a controlled compression system when using Rubber Fab sanitary gaskets. Torque-Rite allows controlled compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pound force, ensuring a controlled compression ID. Torque-Rite eliminates the problems associated with over- or under-tightening a seal, which can lead to an unsanitary system.

When tightened, the Torque-Rite’s self-limiting internal mechanism will make an audible “click,” signaling the user that they have reached proper inch/pounds force. If further tightening is attempted, there will be more “clicks” but no additional application of force on the hygienic seal. Torque-Rite has a built-in manual override feature in case emergency conditions arise.
