Millions of these groundbreaking devices have been utilized globally in structural steel projects. Now the solar sector is beginning to discover the unmatched benefits of our revolutionary DTIs.  The Squirter® DTI Difference   Squirter® DTIs are hardened, washer-shaped devices incorporating small arch-like protrusions on the bearing surface. These protrusions are designed to deform in a controlled manner when subject to a compressive load. Unlike other tightening methods, when a Squirter® DTI is sufficiently compressed, it tells you the bolt has been tightened correctly by expelling durable orange indication media. This deploys when a bolt has been properly pretensioned, regardless of bolt characteristics like length or condition, making installation easy and accurate. ![Squirter® DTIs on solar job site](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/squirter.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=squirter.jpg) Why Squirter® DTIs for Solar Installation? - **Precision Engineering:** Squirter® DTIs are meticulously engineered to ensure perfect bolt tension for solar array pilon mounting. Say goodbye to alignment issues and hello to flawless installations! - **Durable Design:** Built to withstand the harshest elements, Squirter® DTIs are made from high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and resilience against environmental factors. - **Easy Installation:** Simplify your workflow! Squirter® DTIs streamline the installation process, saving you time and effort. See that the bolts are tight and get your solar arrays up and running in record time! As always, we are focused on designing and manufacturing quality products that provide Visual Verification of Bolt Tension™ on any project. Regardless of your industry, Squirter® DTIs are the best way to bolt!™ [Contact us](https://www.appliedbolting.com/contact.php) for more information on how Squirter® DTIs can enhance your solar installation projects.    --- #### Tag: [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting) [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [Solar](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/solar) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/revolutionizing-solar-installations) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/revolutionizing-solar-installations&text=Revolutionizing%20Solar%20Installations%20with%20Squirter®%20DTIs) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/revolutionizing-solar-installations) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/revolutionizing-solar-installations&text=Revolutionizing%20Solar%20Installations%20with%20Squirter®%20DTIsdescription=Applied%20Bolting%20Technology™%20is%20proud%20to%20announce%20the%20expansion%20of%20its%20innovative%20Squirter®%20DTIs%20(direct%20tension%20indicators)%20into%20the%20solar%20industry.%20Millions[...]&media=https://8020600.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8020600/Untitled%20design%20%2810%29-Sep-24-2024-05-10-38-1210-PM.png) --- ###### [Q&A with Clay: Squirter® DTIs’ Impact on Structural Steel Construction Previous Post](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/q-and-a-with-clay) ###### [Celebrating 30 Years of Bolting Excellence Next Post](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/30-years-of-bolting) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. ### Category - [Squirter® DTIs (20)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) - [Bolting (11)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting) - [Tension (7)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension) - [Torque (5)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/torque) - [Case Study (4)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/case-study) ### Popular Posts [chris curven](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/chrisc) 03/17/2021 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Torque](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/torque), [Tension](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis), [Structural Steel](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/structural-steel), [Case Study](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/case-study), [Safety](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/safety) [Cold Weather: Our Squirter® DTIs With DuraSquirt® Formula Still Work!](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/2021/03/17/cold-weather-our-squirter-and-durasquirt-dtis-work) [Clara Moses](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/clara-moses) 09/30/2025 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [Made in America: How Squirter® DTIs Deliver Quality and Reliability](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/made-in-america) [Rob Westover](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/robw) 08/17/2021 [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [Hot Bolting - Single Stud Replacement](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/2021/08/17/hot-bolting-single-stud-replacement) [Clara Moses](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/clara-moses) 12/14/2025 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Tension](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [The Science of Bolt Tension You Can See: How Squirter® DTIs Are Made](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/the-science-of-bolt-tension-you-can-see-how-squirter-dtis-are-made) --- ## Related Posts It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
