Product Technology Spotlight
The TurnAnut™
The 2009 TurnAnut™ is a patented tensioning device that attaches a hex nut to its precisely matched TurnaSure® DTI. In this assembly, a cumbersome— especially at hundreds of feet off the ground—four-piece assembly (nut, DTI, hardened washer and bolt) is simplified into an ergonomically sound and much safer two-piece assembly. The TurnaSure® DTI’s unique geometry allows for the DTI to be fixed directly under the nut-and-washer assembly with superior tightening results—and without highly controlled lubricity. 
Unlike torque-based methods, the TurnAnut™ utilizes the TurnaSure® DTI’s friction-reducing properties, lowering the required torque force and removing the need for highly controlled lubricity. The result is a stream-lined, efficient device with cost-savings in transport, handling, tightening, and assembly—and no “fiddle factor.”
High accuracy applied clamping force is the best assurance that a joint will not loosen over time, and the TurnAnut™ provides exactly that. Learn more about the TurnAnut™ here.
