Squirter® DTIs
Now you can see when you're done.
SQUIRTER® DTI FEATURES:- Easier & Better than Turn-of Nut
- You don't have to remember to stop turning at 1/3rd, 1/2, or 2/3rds turn. No match marking necessary.
- Better than a Twist-Off Bolt
- Tension control rather than torque control.
- No splined end to twist off and become a safety hazard.
- No problems caused by the splined end shearing off in torsion before the plies are together.
- Easier & Better than Calibrated Wrench
- You don't have to establish and then check the torque resistance of bolts daily and for each lot and when your wrench condition changes.
- Works with All Bolt Lengths
- Even when the bolts are extremely short or long, SQUIRTER® DTIs show you when the correct tension has been achieved.
- Saves Erector Time
- Enables correct tensioning as fast as the wrench can be moved to the next bolt, because the operator can see when to stop.
- Establishes A Good Snug Point
- With SQUIRTER® DTIs, snug is partial bolt tightness without any or much silicone showing. The snug criteria becomes no squirt. The tight criteria becomes squirt.
- Visual Low Tech Tension Indicator
- The orange silicone is easy for erectors to see. No feeler gage except during calibration.
- Safe for Inspectors
- Once calibrated, because inspectors can easily see the orange squirts, they don't have to climb out to all the connections or lug around a torque wrench to know the connection has been completed. And instead of sampling only some of the DTI's with a feeler gage, Squirter® DTIs allow virtually 100% inspection.
- Squirter® DTI's Approved
- SQUIRTER® DTIs are still made and certified to ASTM F959. FHWA pre-installation verification procedures, Research Council tests, and State DOT Quality Assurance procedures are unaffected.
- Extremely High Bolt Tension Avoided
- Erectors know when to stop tightening. Some applications prefer bolts tightened over a minimum, but not too far over. SQUIRTER® DTIs enable previously unavailable control.
