Torque-Rite® allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pounds force insuring a Perfect Surface I.D. when used with a Perfect Surface Hygienic Seal. Torque-Rite® eliminates the problems associated with over - or under-tightening a seal 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 to 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 (if emergency conditions arise, the Torque-Rite® has a built-in manual override feature).
