Be Sure to Use the Right Torque Wrench on Couplings

We have learned over the years that some plumbers are using the same torque wrench 

to tighten standard no-hub couplings AND certain heavy-duty couplings, such as the Husky HD-2000. Both feature a 5/16” screw, but the standard couplings get torqued to 60in-lbs and the Husky HD-2000 and some other HD couplings should be torqued to 80in-lbs. If you’re using the same wrench for both, you’re doing one of them wrong!  Be sure to use the proper wrench for the coupling being installed
