ABSTRACT:
A detachable locking device is described which consists of a pair of standard box end wrenches with shortened handles having integral ears on the ends of the handles with openings therethrough. The wrenches are first placed behind the respective connecting nuts on the line termination point adapter assemblies which are to be joined. The preliminary connection and seal is then made using conventional methods and the connecting nuts are torqued to near their optimum value. The box end wrenches of the locking device are then positioned on the nuts so that a connecting bolt can be passed through the openings in the ears on the handles, a nut attached thereto and then tightened to hold and secure the connecting nuts together and prevent the nuts from loosening or seal leaking during the operation of the fluid transmission line.
