Equations
Equation 1
Torque setting if the crowfoot is placed in line with
respect to the wrench:
TS = TD * L / LA
or
TS = TD * L / (L+E)
Equation 2
Torque setting if the crowfoot is placed at 90° with
respect to the wrench
TS = TD * L / LH
or
TS = TD * L / √(L
2
+ E
2
)
Equation 3
To estimate the crowfoot size (E)
E = Drive Size * 0.5 + Distance between Drive &
Open End + Wrench Size * 0.5774
Determining Torque Setting
There are several methods of determining the correct
setting on the torque wrench when using a crowfoot. All
of the methods involve making the setting proportional
to the effective change in length of the wrench multiplied
by the desired final torque.

Measurements Needed
Figure 4-3
L = Distance from center of torque wrench handle to the
center of socket drive
E = Distance from center of socket drive to the center of
crowfoot
LA = Distance from center of torque wrench handle to
the center of crowfoot
LH = Distance from center of torque wrench handle to
the center of crowfoot, when mounted at 90°
TD = Desired torque at the fitting
TS = Torque setting indicated on wrench
