TighteningTools for VHPFittings
Confgured for the optimum torque to provide assurance of a
strong connection
Prolongs the lifetime of reusable fttings by not overtightening
Available for multiple ftting head styles
This new line of tightening tools is designed for the VHP fttings and
can also be used with any ftting in this chapter described to have a
corresponding head style to the tool listed below. There are three styles
of tightening tools available for various applications. The Torque Tools
(VHP-1000, VHP-2000 and VHP-3000) are breakaway torque wrenches
designed to deliver a precise amount of torque to the ftting system.
These torque wrenches come calibrated according to ISO 6789:2003
(± 6% of setting) and have been tested extensively with the reusable
VHP fttings on page 6. Choose the appropriate torque delivered and
the proper head style to work with the VHP fttings, increasing the ease
of use with these fttings.
The VHP-4000 Torque Driver couples with the specially designed
Extender Tools listed below and provides an externally adjustable
torque setting. This tool along with the appropriate Extender Tools
will tighten any Upchurch Scientifc
®
knurled polymer ftting in your
system. Reference the head style found in the tables at the bottom
of each page for information on the proper Extender Tool to select.
Because of the small hex-head on the M4 fittings (VHP-900 and
VHP-920), a custom wrench, the VHP-9000, is available below.
