Ripley UtilityTool PIT-1T Load Break Elbow Probe Insertion Tool - 15-34.5 kV, 125 in-lb

The Ripley Tools PIT-1T (Part #35150) is a purpose-built probe insertion tool for quickly and correctly seating a load break probe into small-interface 15 to 34.5 kV elbows. It applies the precise 125 in-lb torque needed for a proper connection without over-tightening, reducing the risk of probe breakage, contamination, and cross-threading - common failure points when probes are installed with non-dedicated tools or by hand.

The PIT-1T is equipped with four drive options in one compact tool body: an adjustable, removable T-bar handle that converts to a moment arm for use in tight spaces, a 3/8 in. (10 mm) square socket drive, a 1 in. (25 mm) steel drive for wrench engagement, and a 13/16 in. (20.64 mm) penta-socket. This versatility lets crews insert and remove load break probes across virtually all elbow configurations without carrying multiple tools. Probe removal is accomplished simply by reversing the tightening direction.
