Document P/N: 2P42520 Release Date: 07/11/2016 Revision: Installation Equipment, Accessories & Specifications continued This device appears like a simple hex drive extension but is actually an engineered product that limits the torque that an impact wrench can impart to a bolt. This functionality is achieved by a specific combination of physical geometry and material properties of the steel.
Please note that over- or under-torqueing the bolts outside of the indicated range is detrimental to the performance and safety of the assembly and may lead to leakage or even failure. DO NOT USE TRB TO REMOVE BOLTS - FAILURE MAY OCCUR. ® Safety Iron Bolt Torque Torque Safety Pressure Capacity ®...

Care must be taken that bar has the appropriate rating for the intended application. This is clearly indicated on the large end of the extension. 8.
Revision: Flow Line Inspection Weir Oil & Gas strongly recommends performing a flow line inspection to verify that each clamp has been assembled prior to pressurizing the line. This will require physically inspecting the underside of each clamp to verify that bolt is within approximately 1/4" of the opening in the bottom threaded clamp. This action will provide additional verification that any clamps that may have been loosened to allow for adjustment during the installation process were properly re-tightened.
Document P/N: 2P42520 Release Date: 07/11/2016 Revision: SECTION III: Disassembly Disassembly of components is roughly the reverse of the assembly. Do not use Torque Regulating Bar to remove bolts - failure can occur. Care should be taken to loosen the bolts in a gradual manner. The "two step"...
