ABSTRACT:
A coaxial connector torque aid, in the form of a tubular grip element, is installed over a conventional coaxial connector to facilitate tightening of the connector onto an equipment port by hand. The tubular grip element includes an outer surface for being grasped by a user, and an internal bore for extending over the connector body. The tubular grip element is axially-slidable for being axially advanced to extend over, and fixedly engage, an outer surface portion of the nut, simultaneously with axial compression of the connector over an end of a coaxial cable. The tubular grip element has an axial length exceeding that of the nut to make the nut more accessible.
