can the ap217 be tightened too much

Yes, I believe if you overtighten it, you'll crack the nut, and it will leak.

Sure, the disadvantage to the 21 ga. Vs the 23 ga. is that you are trying to make your fastening as invisible as you can. And I don't think you can do better than Grex.

Please do not stretch the springs. They are factory set to a high tolerance. you will cause the device to work incorrectly and likely fail the annual inspection.

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.

Yes. Most A2's have an adjustable pin in the front reticule. Pushing down with a tool or small screw driver will adjust it.

Once you get it adjusted where you want it you can tighten a set screw and it'll just go to that length and stop, works great

You shouldn't have any problems. The adjustable clamp has a pretty wide range. This is a great product.

I have this model and while it is technically compatible, it is a little loose.

Sorry, wound up having friend set up the wall attachment because the clamp kept slipping and the toggle thingy broke off. I am able to adjust it anyway I prefer now. Don't know if anyone else had a slipping and breaking problem.

I just purchased it. Returning it for this reason. I tightened it to the max and it still does not hold it's position.

It will not work on a 1" pole. It is too large and will flop around. As for tightening, there is a second piece (the bottom half of the picture) that has a plastic piece inside it. That piece fits into the groove on the adtek arm (separate purchase) and allows you to tighten it down. Will not work correctly without the arm.

Yes, you can loosen it. I had the opposite issue. Clamp was too loose and wouldn't hold. So, in had to tighten it more.

Must be sure ALL mounting screws are very tight and need to recheck tightness often

I know that when I mounted the (7) that I just put up a couple days ago, I would turn it, and there would be a slight resistance when I would get to the slot for the tab, and then I would continue to turn for another 1-1.5 inches. It was a bit tricky, but not too bad.

I think S. Alexander answered well. I cannot really help you because, as I said, I don't use it do to the poor tuning issue.

This can be tighten a lot but in my opinion if you need more better get normal SPD not SPD-SL

I would contact APC for more info. In my opinion this is the best one I have owned though.
