Finally! A tool to torque the back-nut on MC4 connectors!
Every Solar Professional must have an MC4 socket and torque wrench.
MC4 connectors are not weatherproof if not assembled properly with the right materials and torqued to the manufacture's specifications!
Poorly
assembled MC4 connectors can cause all types of issues. Connectors can
come apart, melt, cause bad circuit connections, ground faults and
insulation faults.... All these issues can be prevented by using the
right tools and following the manufactures instructions (NEC 110.3 (B)).
Poorly made MC4s can be difficult to find when issues come up. Prevent callbacks by using the right tools the first time!
For use with Stäubli MC4 Male and Female Connectors. Use a 1/4" torque wrench set to 31 in-lb (3.4
N m - 3.5 N m) when tightening the back nut of the connector. This
torque rating is printed on the side of the socket for your convenience.
This MC4 Socket has a 3/8" drive but comes with an adapter to 1/4".
Do not use with larger torque wrenches since they will not be as accurate as a 1/4".
MC4 connectors must be torqued at time of install.
Available in your favorite colors. Special colors available on request.
This
socket is made in the USA, with USA made ABS Plastic. ABS plastic is
light weight, durable and will not crack glass if dropped on an array.
This listing does not include a torque wrench, MC4 connectors, or PV Wire. Please purchase separately.
