The Manual Torque Tool is designed to allow ROV manipulator operation of API 17H type A or B low torque rotary valve interfaces. The tool features an adjustable torque limiting clutch mechanism, which acts to limit the maximum torque that can be transmitted from the ROV manipulator to the valve stem during an ROV intervention operation, mitigating against the possibility of potentially over-torqueing and damaging a valve.

The Tool’s socket is designed so that it is capable of interfacing onto either a type A (flat paddle) or a type B (T-bar) valve handles. This allows the option for operations to be conducted on different valve types without the requirement for retrieval to surface for reconfiguration.

– Adjustable maximum torque setting from 20 to 200 Nm.

– Tool supplied with a calibrated torque wrench to allow accurate torque setting adjustment and pre-dive verification.

– Simple torque setting adjustment (without the need to dismantle the tool).

– Lightweight construction and minimized tool length allow for easy ROV operation.

–  Multi-function end effector design allows operations to be conducted on different valve types without the requirement to recover the tool for reconfiguration on deck.

– Supplied with any type of handle required.

– Made from corrosion resistant materials.

– Fitted with torque resistant compliant mount.

– Can be used at any water depth

– Approx weight in air – 8kg

– Approx weight in water – 5kg

– Supplied in a foam lined transit case.

– Lower torque version available.
