Wall Anchor Plate maintenance
Hello fellow DIYers (active and aspiring) A Grip-Tite brand wall anchor plate was installed in my home by the previous owner to address shifting along a cellar wall in the basement and I was told by the company that installed it to use a torque wrench every month to maintain 80 foot lbs of torque on the plate. My question is what size drive, socket, all of that do I need for the torque wrench? The square nut on the plate is 1.25inches but that is the only measurement I am aware of. I'm like average level handy and have never used a torque wrench before, or had to maintain a wall anchor before so I just want clarity so I don't mess things up. Thanks submitted by /u/AnthonyPCStephens [link] [comments]
