Cdi Torque TCQYRX48A Torque Wrench Head 1.5 in Flare Nut Sae

Product Description

The CDI TORQUE TCQYRX48A is a 1.5-inch flare nut torque wrench head engineered for precise fastening in SAE applications. It features a 12-point design and accepts a Y-type shank with a 0.560-inch shank size, making it compatible with standard torque wrench drive handles. The head delivers a maximum torque of 160 ft-lb, providing the range needed for medium-to-heavy fastening tasks. Weighing just 0.33 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers reach for this type of head when working on flare nut fittings where a standard crowfoot or open-end wrench cannot apply calibrated torque reliably.

This wrench head is suited for trade and industrial environments where flare nut connections require verified torque values. Typical applications include refrigerant line connections, hydraulic fittings, and fuel line assemblies where over-tightening or under-tightening leads to leaks or fitting damage. The SAE measurement type makes it the appropriate choice for inch-based fasteners common in North American HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems. It is sold as a single head unit and is intended for use with a compatible torque wrench handle sold separately.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch flare nut head for secure engagement on six-sided tube nuts
• 12-point design allows positioning in tight access spaces
• Y-type shank with 0.560-inch shank size for drive handle compatibility
• Maximum torque rating of 160 ft-lb for medium-to-heavy duty fastening
• SAE measurement type suited for inch-based fastener applications
• Lightweight at 0.33 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended service

Compatibility

Designed for use with torque wrench handles that accept a Y-type shank with a 0.560-inch shank size. Intended for SAE flare nut fasteners in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with torque fastening procedures. Verify the wrench handle and head are fully seated and locked before applying torque. Do not exceed the 160 ft-lb maximum torque rating, as overloading can damage both the tool and the fitting. Inspect the head and shank connection for wear or play before each use.
