Bolting with Precision – The HYTORC Washer Advantage

/ HYTORC Marketing

Accuracy is everything in bolting. A uniform bolt load is critical to joint integrity—yet traditional torque methods introduce variables that compromise that very principle. Reaction arms apply side load, cause stress on tools, and introduce error. It's time to think differently.

With the HYTORC Washer, you're not just replacing a washer—you're upgrading the entire process. This system delivers unmatched accuracy through its unique design: a backup washer holds the counter nut in place, while a drive socket turns the nut on the active side of the joint. This ensures perfect axial force distribution and minimal variance in bolt load.

No more misaligned torque, no more bolt bending, and no more unpredictable results. It’s why leading global companies, particularly in oil and gas, have integrated this technology into their operations—onshore and offshore alike.

This washer system isn’t exclusively for HYTORC tools, either. It works with your existing nuts and bolts, and it pairs seamlessly with your preferred bolting method. But when used with HYTORC’s advanced torque wrenches, the synergy is unmatched.

So, if you care about accuracy, consistency, and extending the life of both your fasteners and your tools—it’s time to ditch the reaction arm. Precision starts with the HYTORC Washer.
