Description
Pump rooms mix old and new equipment, and the bolt specs vary just as much. The Snap-on TEC6FUAC torque wrench helps a service crew cope with that mix. It is a Torqometer dial wrench with a U.S. and metric scale and a follow-up pointer. Its listing name also says it ships with a chart.
Peak readings on pump and valve joints
On the TEC6FUAC, a follow-up pointer travels with the main needle and then stays at the highest value. So a fitter can tighten a bonnet bolt in an awkward spot, step back and read the result. That matters on valves that sit low against a wall, where the dial faces the floor. Reset the pointer before the next bolt, or the old peak will mislead you.
Mixed unit specs with the Snap-on TEC6FUAC torque wrench
Pump makers from the US often give torque in foot-pounds or inch-pounds. Meanwhile, valve data sheets from Europe and Asia may give metric values. The TEC6FUAC shows both scales on one dial, so the crew skips the conversion table. Snap-on’s tables for this U.S./metric family list the metric side in kilogram-force units. Therefore, check whether your specs use kgf or N·m before you rely on the metric scale.
Service tasks that suit the TEC6FUAC
- Bonnet and body bolts on gate, globe and check valves after a repack.
- Casing and cover bolts on split-case and end-suction pumps.
- Gland follower nuts, where an even load on both sides helps the packing seal.
- Coupling guard and baseplate bolts after an alignment job.
However, large flange studs on main headers can exceed what one dial wrench covers. So size the tool to the joints Lost in HCM confirms for the TEC6FUAC.
Grade and size details for the TEC6FUAC
Lost in HCM files this model in its Combination US/Metric Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy group. Snap-on states that grade as within 2% of the reading from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. However, we found no Snap-on catalog entry for the TEC6FUAC with its C suffix. So this page leaves out the range and drive size. Lost in HCM can confirm both, plus what the chart shows, in its quote.
Care in a wet pump room
Pump rooms are often damp, and oil mist settles on every surface. Wipe the Snap-on TEC6FUAC torque wrench after each job and store it dry in its case. Also keep the dial lens clear, because a film of oil hides fine marks. Never use it as a breaker bar on seized nuts, since overload can shift its reading. Then send it for outside calibration on the cycle your maintenance plan sets.

Pump service questions about the TEC6FUAC
Will the TEC6FUAC help with uneven gland packing?
It shows whether each gland nut reached the same value. That makes an even packing load easier to repeat.
What does the chart in the name refer to?
The source does not describe it. Ask Lost in HCM what the chart covers before you order.
Which metric unit sits on the dial?
Snap-on’s U.S./metric tables use kilogram-force units. Lost in HCM can confirm the exact scale on this model.
