Cdi Torque TCQJRXSM8A 8MM Flare Nut Torque Wrench Head

Product Description

The CDI TORQUE TCQJRXSM8A is an 8 MM flare nut torque wrench head designed for precise, controlled fastening in metric applications. It features a 6-point contact geometry and a J-type shank with a 0.425-inch shank diameter, allowing it to seat securely in compatible torque wrench handles. Maximum torque capacity is 17 ft-lb, making it suitable for the low-torque, high-accuracy work common in HVAC refrigerant line fittings, plumbing compression fittings, and similar trade applications. Licensed technicians and experienced tradespeople use this head when flare nut geometry is required to avoid rounding soft fittings.

This torque wrench head is used in residential and light commercial service work where metric flare nut fasteners must be torqued to specification. It is well suited for HVAC technicians torquing refrigerant line connections and plumbers working with metric compression or flare fittings. The compact head dimensions of 2.96 inches in length and 0.28 inches in height allow access in tight spaces typical of equipment cabinets and line set connections.
