Wrench Flats

I love Caleffi products and these pressure reducing valves are great, but would like to see some wrench flats to help with installation.

good point!

A 10" cresent grabs well in below the gauge port.

were these designed to be machined for something else in european markets where you didn't need to grab them with a wrench?

This is one of the 2 wrenches I use for stuff like this. Wide-thin jaws.

I have the complete set of those wrenches in both SAE and Metric sizes. Great for all types of work.

That option comes out of necessity. Flats give you more wrench positioning options.

It's really not a big deal. I just needed to b*itch about something.

Flats on flats if at all possible. I hate seeing a chewed up component.

Decades ago I saw a set of thin stubby wrenches with convex faces. I think at Northern Tool. Never saw them again. I regret that I didn't buy them.
