Frequently Asked Questions About the UniPro™ Valve Closure Systems

Question:

Can I use the Torque Limiting Valve Adapter on the UniPro™ R to open and close soft seat, low torque valves?

Answer:

The Torque Limiting Valve Adapter is designed to close valves only. It can be used on the UniPro™ R for that purpose, but it should not be used to open the valves.
