HYTORC WASHER OVERVIEW
The HYTORC Washer makes having a Reaction Arm unnecessary. It is sold and distributed exclusively
by HYTORC. The HYTORC Washer is a washer that ts under a standard nut and is used in conjunction
with the HYTORC Washer Driver. The nut is driven by the inner sleeve of the drive. The reaction of the
tool is transmitted to the outer sleeve of the HYTORC Washer drive.

Safety increases as there are no external moving parts. The system provides a universal HYTORC reac-
tion point for all applications, making custom reaction arms unnecessary. The fact that the tightening
and the reaction takes place in the same axis, eliminates lateral forces, balances surface friction and
increases bolt load accuracy.
HYTORC Washer Requirements
• Always use the appropriately sized HYTORC Washer for the nuts and bolts you use.
• All specications of the connection (screw size, material, seal type, etc.) must be coordinated.
• When installing the HYTORC Washer, use only original HYTORC accessories. Never use a wrench
or other torque drive.
