Cdi Torque TCRTWH88Y Torque Wrench Head 1 3/8 in Flare Nut

Product Description

The CDI TORQUE TCRTWH88Y is a ratcheting flare nut torque wrench head designed for precise torque application on flare nut fittings. Sized at 1 3/8 inches with a 0.560-inch Y-type shank, this head attaches to a compatible CDI torque wrench handle and delivers controlled, repeatable torque at flare connections in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. The ratcheting flare nut design grips around tubing lines rather than requiring open clearance, making it well-suited for tight or congested service areas where standard crow-foot or box-end access is limited. Licensed technicians and experienced service pros use this head when torque specifications on flare joints must be verified and documented.

This torque wrench head is intended for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service, as well as plumbing installations where flare fittings are used on copper or other soft tubing. It is a particularly practical tool when working with refrigerant line sets, gas supply flare connections, or any application requiring a calibrated flare nut drive. The Y-type shank interfaces with the corresponding CDI torque wrench handle series and is sold individually as a single head unit.

Installation Notes

This head is installed and removed by a qualified service technician familiar with torque wrench systems. Ensure the wrench handle is set to the correct torque value before applying to the flare nut fitting. Do not use an extension between the head and handle unless specified by the manufacturer, as this may affect torque accuracy. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer torque specifications for all flare connections being serviced.
