This Torsion Tube 16 ft 9 in is a 16 ft 9 in steel torsion tube for torsion spring garage doors. The torsion tube is the shaft that runs across the top of the door. The torsion springs, center bearing, end bearings and cable drums all mount on it, and it transfers the springs’ force to both sides of the door.

Safety: This Part Works With Spring Tension
Parts of the counterbalance system are loaded by the springs whenever the door is closed.
- Never loosen bottom brackets, cable drums or lift cables on a closed door with wound springs. They hold the full spring tension; unwind the springs or have a technician do the work.
- Clamp the door in place before working on it.
- Replace one part at a time and keep hands clear of the drums and cables.
If you are not trained in garage door spring work, have a technician carry out the repair.
