Description
At 11/16 in, Snap-on offers the same 6-point slotted ring on two shanks. The Snap-on QYRXS22A flare nut head is the Y-shank (0.560 in) version, and it carries the clearer rating. In addition, both CAT1500i and the UK Torque Brochure put its limit at about 92 ft-lb. As a result, it is the safer pick when a steel fitting needs a firm value.
92 ft-lb against common Y bodies
| Y body | Range (CAT1500i) | Can it pass the head rating? |
|---|---|---|
| CTECH2Y100A | 5-100 ft-lb | Yes, in the top 8 ft-lb of its scale |
| QC3P150 | 30-150 ft-lb | Yes, so preset below 92 ft-lb |
| QC3P200 | 40-200 ft-lb | Yes, so preset below 92 ft-lb |
| QD3IN200B | 40-200 N·m | Yes, above about 125 N·m |
So the QYRXS22A, not the body, sets the ceiling here. For example, on a ControlTech body, lock the preset under the head rating. Likewise, have a QC preset set below it.
Three questions that settle J versus Y
- Which shank does your body take? A Y receiver accepts the QYRXS22A, while a J receiver does not.
- How firm is the joint? Values near the top of a J body favor this Y head, with its agreed rating.
- How tight is the bay? The Y head sits half an inch further from the pin, and Y bodies also run longer.
Press hydraulics with the Snap-on QYRXS22A flare nut head
A hydraulic press often uses steel 11/16 in nuts on its pilot and gauge lines. These joints can need more than a light J body gives, so a Y head fits better. Then the maintenance team fits the QYRXS22A to a Y body, sets the value from the press manual and pulls to the signal. Because the grip covers six flats, it spreads the load, even on a nut that has seen many services.
Working in N·m with the QYRXS22A
Many drawings in Vietnam give values in N·m. In those units, 92 ft-lb works out to about 125 N·m. Therefore a QD3IN200B, with its 40 to 200 N·m scale, covers most settings this head allows. However, keep every setting below 125 N·m on that body.

Y-shank QYRXS22A answers
Is the 92 ft-lb figure confirmed by both catalogs?
Yes. CAT1500i prints 92 ft-lb, and the UK brochure prints 1,100 in-lb, which is about 92 ft-lb.
What happens if I set 95 ft-lb?
That exceeds the 92 ft-lb rating. So keep the setting below it, whatever the body allows.
Is there a 12-point Y head at 11/16 in?
Yes, the QYRX22A. CAT1500i gives it the same 92 ft-lb rating, but it grips on twelve points.
