TORQUE WRENCH ADAPTERS

Some tasks require the use of a torque wrench adapter when the nut or screw cannot be reached with a

regular socket on the end of the torque wrench. These adapters add to the overall length of the torque

wrench and make the dial or scale reading less than actual torque applied to the nut or screw. To

prevent over torquing and damage to equipment, calculate correct dial or scale reading using the

conversion formula on the following page.
