Revolutionizing Solar Installations with Squirter® DTIs

Written by Clara Moses | Sep 24, 2024 5:23:52 PM

Applied Bolting Technology™ is proud to announce the expansion of its innovative Squirter® DTIs (direct tension indicators) into the solar industry. 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.

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!
