Thanks all, guys. Can't believe I didn't look at Scubatools in the first place.

Because you like to make tools out of things you already have. Wish I was as creative as you. Expecting you to make it yourself. Lol
 
Anyone know of a good way to torque the Scubapro Mk11 cap? I put a pin spanner in the cap hole, but don't have a spanner that fits on my torque wrench. I used a luggage scale through the Scubapro universal tool, where it has holes that accepted my scale at 3" and 4" from the end. But after hand tightening it to roughly where I thought it should be, putting 40# on my luggage scale at 4" out only gets me 160 in-lb, or half what is required. It felt like going to 80# would be just too tight. I feel that it's pretty important to have correct compression on the diaphragm edges. Scubapro specifies 35 Nm.

And keeping the pin spanner in the cap was really difficult. The holes are right against the reg body, so a standard pin spanner is too wide. On top of that, the cap holes are canted slightly. The whole evolution was very frustrating.

Looking around the web, I saw castle nut torque fittings that might work, but no indication of sizing.

What happened? Has your plumbing supply store closed down!? :poke:
