WATERTIGHT BULKHEAD FITTING WRENCH

WATERTIGHT BULKHEAD FITTING WRENCH

(OP)
Hello
 I am searching for a supplier that carries open sided ratcheting box wrenches used to tighten watertight bulkhead penetration fittings for electrical wiring ect. These wrenches were described to me by a former employee at the Philadelphia navy yard. He said they come in large sizes with a several inserts for different hex sizes. I need 2 1/4", 2 7/8" and 3 ½". Does anyone know where these could be obtained?

Thanks for your reply, the wrenches I am seaching for have an opening in the hex to slide over the cable then down its axis to tighten the hex seal nut on the fittingthey aparently have different size inserts for different hex sizes.  

RE: WATERTIGHT BULKHEAD FITTING WRENCH

  The closest thing I can think of, for what you are doing is a tube-nut wrench.
This is not quite what you are looking for , but it may do the job, and these people may have what you are looking for.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP. I HAVE ACTUALLY WENT AHEAD AND DESIGNED A RATCHETING WRENCH FOR THIS APPLICATION. I AM HAVING A PROTOTYPE MADE NOW. THE NEWMAN TOOLS WRENCHES HAVE SEVERAL SIZES THAT SHOULD WORK WELL ON ANOTHER PART OF THIS SYSTEM.GOOD LUCK MOOSEE

Sorry about that, I apparently, missed your second post as I lost track of days due to computer problems.
