Yes, a T spanner, also known as a T wrench or T key, is commonly used to rotate a capstan nut. Its design provides a strong grip and leverage, making it easier to turn the nut, especially in tight spaces or when dealing with high torque requirements. The T shape allows for better control and torque application compared to traditional wrenches.
A spanner nut is a type of fastener that has a specific design allowing it to be tightened or loosened using a spanner, or wrench. It typically features a unique shape, such as holes or notches, which require a corresponding tool for manipulation. Spanner nuts are commonly used in applications where secure fastening is critical, such as in machinery or automotive components, to prevent unauthorized access or accidental loosening.
A 22 mm compression pipe typically requires a spanner size of 24 mm to fit the compression nut properly. It's important to ensure that the spanner is of good quality to avoid rounding the nut edges. Always check for a snug fit to prevent any damage during tightening.
A spanner, also known as a wrench, is an example of a lever, which is a type of simple machine. It allows users to exert a greater force on a nut or bolt by applying force on one end of the lever, which multiplies the effort applied to turn or loosen the object. The fulcrum is typically located at the pivot point where the spanner grips the fastener.
A retaining nut could be the packing gland nut on a valve stem or the nut used on a flare or compression fitting
One who, or that which, spans., The lock of a fusee or carbine; also, the fusee or carbine itself., An iron instrument having a jaw to fit a nut or the head of a bolt, and used as a lever to turn it with; a wrench; specifically, a wrench for unscrewing or tightening the couplings of hose., A contrivance in some of the ealier steam engines for moving the valves for the alternate admission and shutting off of the steam.
Exactly the same as any other nut. Spanner is just British terminology for wrench.
How to calculate spanner size regarding bolts and nuts
you use a spanner to open a rusted nut bolt because you need a strong tool to open a rusted nut bolt.

Because a spanner provides extra leverage - and is much tougher than our fingers !
because spanner has a longer moment arm and torque depends upon moment arm greater the moment greater will be the torque produced so it is easy to unscrew a tight nut using longer spanner
Because they are easier to make, a hexagonal bar can be held in a self centering 3 jaw chuck of a capstan lathe. Also they allow a spanner to to be put on them in 6 positions instead of 4 as with a square nut, making it easier to tighten or loosen them in a confined space.
A long-arm spanner provides greater leverage, making it easier to apply more force to the nut with less effort. This increased leverage allows the user to generate more torque, which makes it easier to tighten the nut effectively. Conversely, a short-arm spanner provides less leverage, requiring more effort to generate the same amount of torque.
20 Nm. You just multiply them together.
This answer is based on simple mechanics. A spanner is a tool which you use to apply a twisting force on a nut. This twisting force is called a Moment. The equation for a moment: moment = force x distance of application As the force given by your arms will not increase just by using a bigger spanner, the size of the moment is directly related to the distance away from the nut the force is applied. So with a short spanner, say 30cm (0.3 metres) long and a typical force from your arm of about 100N (about 10kg) the moment will be: Moment = 100 x 0.3 = 30 Nm Now if a bigger spanner is used, say 50 cm (0.5 metres) long the moment is: Moment = 100 x 0.5 = 50 Nm So you can see if you use a bigger spanner, you are putting a larger twisting force upon the nut, so it it easier to loosen.
The mechanic would get more leverage. The rotational force applied to the nut is greater the longer the spanner, assuming the mechanic applies the same amount of force.
