Snap-on IZ22OE14X18 Torque Insert, 22 mm Open-End for 14 x 18 mm IZO Wrenches

Description

Many hose ends and M14 nuts share one awkward trait: a pipe or a second part blocks the top. The Snap-on IZ22OE14X18 torque insert answers with a 22 mm open jaw that slides on from the side. It plugs into a 14 x 18 mm IZO/ISO receiver, so the reading stays on a calibrated body.

Why 22 mm needs the larger fitting

Snap-on stops its 9 x 12 inserts at 19 mm. So every 22 mm option, including the IZ22OE14X18, needs a 14 x 18 receiver. On the bolt side, DIN 934 gives M14 nuts a 22 mm hex, while ISO 4032 uses 21 mm. Snap-on lists no 21 mm insert, so measure the flats before you assume a match.

Bodies and range for the Snap-on IZ22OE14X18 torque insert

In CAT1500i, the ControlTech CTECHBN340A carries the 14 x 18 receiver. It reads 17.0 to 340.0 N·m, or 12.5 to 250.8 ft-lb. Snap-on calibrates its wrenches from 20 to 100% of full scale, which here means 68 to 340 N·m. So check that your M14 or fitting value lands inside that band. Also, the body runs 607 mm long without a head, so plan the swing room around the IZ22OE14X18.

Open jaw or the IZ22IR14X18 ring

• Pick the IZ22OE14X18 when a hose, tube or stud blocks the top of the nut.
• Pick the IZ22IR14X18 ring when you can drop straight over the hex, since a closed ring spreads the load.
• Step up to the IZ24OE14X18 for M16 nuts, which use a 24 mm hex.

Using the Snap-on IZ22OE14X18 torque insert well

Seat the jaw deep on the flats before you pull, because an open end bears on two faces only. Then pull square to the nut and stop at the signal. However, never use the insert to free a stuck nut, as Snap-on warns. Plus, the ControlTech body stores a factor for each head length, so pick the right one after every swap.

IZ22OE14X18 points buyers raise

Does a 22 mm jaw suit ISO M14 hardware?

No. ISO 4032 gives M14 a 21 mm hex, while this jaw opens to 22 mm for DIN-pattern nuts.

Can a 9 x 12 mm body use a 22 mm head?

No. The 9 x 12 range ends at 19 mm, so 22 mm needs a 14 x 18 body such as the CTECHBN340A.

What does the catalog call this part?

CAT1500i lists the IZ22OE14X18 as a 22 mm OE insert for the 14 x 18 fitting.
