wrench clearances
(OP)
Machinery's Handbook (25th) has tables of clearances for wrench openings up to 1-5/8". Can anyone direct me to info on wrench clearances for larger sizes?

RE: wrench clearances
But, since those clearances are good for wrench sizes up to 1-5/8, and the difficulties of fabricating a "wrench-turnable" part bigger than 1-5/8 are no harder, just the 1-5/8 tolerances.
Looking at the problem the other way, do you need to design a space to "attach" and "turn" a wrench for a 2-1/2 nut? If so, get the wrench you will use, and measure the length and max diameter of the wrench head. Using a socket wrench or impact wrench to turn the part? Do the same thing - but check your design to make sure there is room to attach and remove and operate the impact wrench and its adapter.
