SECTION IV
OPERATION – HYTORC
LoaDISC and Clamp
4-1 Tool Set up and Operation
When used in conjunction with the HYTORC
LoaDISC Washer or Clamp, the operation is essentially
the same as with the conventional nuts, but with one notable exception: THERE ARE NO
REACTION FORCES TO CONSIDER OR PROVIDE FOR! The reaction forces are absorbed
through the fastener assembly itself. Each individual customer order for
LoaDISC or Clamps will be
provided with specific installation instructions for each application. However, the following general
guidelines outline correct installation procedures.
4-2 HYTORC
LoaDISC Tensioning
1. Do not use grease or lubricants on LoaDISC , nut, bolt or joint face. LoaDISC is “DRY LUBE”

3. Install the nuts on the bolt and hand tighten snugly on both sides of assembly.
4. Set required pump pressure.
