Colour Coded Tools and Equipment

All BOLTIGHT tooling and equipment is colour coded to indicate the maximum working pressure.

Colour Code	Max Working Pressure
GREEN	1000 bar
BLUE	1500 bar
RED	2000 bar plus

The colour coding takes the following forms :-
		Pumps The tubular steel carrying frames are painted according to the code.

Hoses The hoses are plastic coated and the quick connectors are fitted with plastic dust covers. Both are coloured according to the code.

		Tools The tool labels and the quick connector, plastic dust covers, are coloured according to the code.

Maximum Stroke Indicators

Most BOLTIGHT standard tools have a long 15 mm stroke. Each tool has a highly visible red piston stroke indicator which appears when the tool has reached the design maximum stroke.

Exceeding the piston stroke will cause oil to escape safely into the centre of the tensioning tool.
