    Anti seize also comes in larger cans with a brush, but it still can

    wrench from the manufacturer (we use S Flex) gets the torque where
    it should be, and even a gorilla can't over torque it too far.<br>
    Old fashioned, but we have less heavy tools to carry on the roof,
    and no over torque issues.   With lubed threads, the T handle wrench

                          You need to check the recommended tightening

                          system you are using.  For example, what we

                          These likely vary based on the construction of
                          the module frame.<br>
                          I've also found that some module mfgrs do not

                          <br>
                          We had a module break after clamping it down. 
                          The crew described it as 'putting the module
                          in place, clamping it down and turning around
                          to grab the next module and hearing a 'crack'
                          followed by the crackling glass sound (if you
                          have ever heard a module break, the crackling
                          sound can last for a few minutes).  The break
                          pattern in the glass seemed to focus on a
                          particular mid clamp.  I used a torque wrench,
                          set at around 10 ft-lb and checked all the
                          mid-clamp bolts, increasing the torque setting
                          by a few ft-lb each time until it finally
                          turned a bolt instead of clicking.  I found
                          that most of the bolts were close to 30 ft-lb
                          and the one that appeared to break the glass
                          was about 34 ft-lb.<br>
