Torque-Rite
Presenting The Perfect Surface Gasket System.
The perfect union of Torque-Rite and the Perfect Surface Gasket.
Torque-Rite allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pounds force insuring a Perfect Surface ID when used with a Perfect Surface Gasket . Torque-Rite eliminates the problems associated with over or under tightening a gasket which can lead to an unsanitary system.
Compression control is easy!
When tightened, the Torque-Rite's self-limiting internal mechanism will make an audible "click" signaling the user 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 gasket (if emergency conditions arise, the Torque-Rite has a built-in manual override feature). Problems with over-tightening or under-tightening a gasket:
Over-tightening can tear or damage a gasket and can also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline. A torn or extruded gasket can hold soil and bacteria. Under-tightening leaves an undesirable concave area at the gasket allowing soil and bacteria to become entrapped. Both conditions should be avoided in a sanitary system.
Maintaining a "Perfect Surface" Sanitary System.
By maintaining a constant force on a Perfect Surface Gasket with the Torque-Rite, (gasket II) is maintained lowering bacteria count and enhancing product integrity. A Perfect Surface sanitary system is assured.

Expension Control
| DAMMING:
An over-tightened gasket extrudes into the pipe, prevents draining, and allows deposits to build up behind the gasket.
|
UNDER-TIGHTENING
May allow leakage
Can form concave surfaces at the product side of the gasket affecting free drainage and cleaning |
