Tightening the Bolts on a Boiler Door - Boiler Room Tip

[@CrunchyRhombus]

Hello, How would you recommend tightening the nuts on the flange of a valve on a steam system operating at 150psi - if you were restricted (due to space) and could only use manual tools? The valve is isolated and not under pressure. Cheers!

Based on the limited info of what's mentioned I would say all you could do was put the wrenches on it. Use the appropriate wrenches with bars etc. and torque it down, once heat/steam hits it, it's very likely to need to be retorqued.

Refer to them as LUG NUTS (like a wheel -- drive it then retighten)

Good simile!
