minisplit update
One of the obstacles to
installing the new mini-split system is torquing down the flare nuts to
meet the torque requirements.
It's important to have it
tight but not overtightened due to temperature extremes.
We decided to go with a Tekton
drive click torque wrench
that allows you to dial in the torque you need and listen for the click
that lets you know you've reached the target torque value.

Hi Mark and Anna, Were thinking about the same thing, install a couple of heat pump minisplit precharged systems. I believe your going to need a crow foot wrench to fit your torq wrench and the tubing fitting, also you will have to correct torq setting because of the use of the crow foot wrench. I have been really busy on this end before winter sets in. Good luck in your new adventures. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=line+wrench+crows+foot&qpvt=line+wrench+crows+foot+&FORM=IGRE
