The revolutionary new LOHR SMARTHEX™TC combines the structural
integrity of our original large-head tension control bolt
with the familiarity and versatility of a traditional hex.
The genius of SMARTHEX
lies in its dual nature.
The
top half resembles an old-fashioned hex-head bolt,
giving SMARTHEX all the advantages iron workers appreciate
from a standard hex: a wrenchable surface, easy removal from
connections and test equipment, and extra insurance against
unexpected installation problems.
The
bottom half presents a washer-sized bearing surface
equal to that of a hardened flat washer. This large bearing
surface eliminates the need for a second washer on short slotted
and oversized holes.
You get all the tension control
benefits of the original Lohr design-plus a conventional wrenching
surface for added security and flexibility—truly
the best of both worlds!
Advantages of the new design
include all the standard LOHR TC perks (consistency, easy
one-man installation and total traceability), plus...
- No more torches to burn
out rollers or thread-damaged bolts.
- Enhanced
installation accessibility. If tight or inadequate
clearances prevent the use of the electric installation
tool, simply hold the wrenching surface and tighten the
nut using the turn-of-nut procedure.
- Eliminate
rollers. If nicked or damaged threads cause the bolt
to roll, preventing normal nut attachment, simply hold the
wrenching surface and tighten the nut.
- Easy
disassembly. Should removal be required, just hold
the built-in wrenching surface and loosen the nut.
- More
efficient testing. Wrenching surface simplifies removal
from test equipment
