What do I torque the LOCATOR to when attaching a LOCATOR to an implant?
A: To torque a LOCATOR to the implant, you will need the following tools:
- Torque wrench
- For LOCATOR abutments, you'll also need: SKU: 08926 - LOCATOR square driver torque wrench insert
- For LOCATOR R-Tx abutments, you'll also need: SKU: 04936 - LOCATOR R-Tx .050 (1.25mm) Hex driver
Using a torque device and the LOCATOR Driver Insert, torque each LOCATOR Abutment to 30Ncm or to the torque for an abutment screw recommended by the manufacturer of the implant/abutment system if that recommended torque is 35Ncm or less.
NOTE: Implants with ≤ 1.4mm thread require the LOCATOR Abutment be torqued to 20Ncm.
WARNING: Use of higher torque values than recommended could cause a fracture of the LOCATOR Abutment.
