Hydraulic Wedge Type Flange Spreader
The Manual Wedge Flange Spreader is a compact, mechanically operated tool designed for safe and controlled separation of flanges during maintenance, inspection, and gasket replacement tasks. Its wedge-type mechanism allows precise spreading without damaging the flange faces or gasket surfaces. Built with high-strength alloy steel, the tool delivers reliable performance in confined spaces where hydraulic systems cannot be used. Lightweight, easy to position, and simple to operate, this manual flange spreader is ideal for shutdown jobs, pipeline work, and general plant maintenance, ensuring efficient and safe access to bolted joints.
Technical Specifications:
Jaws Closed : 6mm/0.24”
Jaws Open : 80mm/3.16”
Rated Force : 14ton/30000lbs
Weight : 8kg/18 lbs
Applications:
- Opening and separating flanges during gasket replacement and inspection.
- Maintenance work on pipelines in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power plants.
- Safe access for cleaning, machining, or re-facing flange surfaces.
- Valve, pump, and heat-exchanger flange separation during shutdown activities.
- Ideal for confined spaces where hydraulic tools cannot be used.
- Support work in offshore rigs, refineries, and heavy industrial plants.
- Used for controlled and precise flange spreading to avoid damage to components.
- Suitable for quick breakdown and assembly of bolted joints during maintenance.
Key Features:
Provides powerful, controlled spreading force to separate flanges safely and efficiently with minimal operator effort.
Enables easy insertion into tight flange gaps, ensuring effective operation even in restricted spaces.
Delivers long-lasting durability and consistent performance in rugged industrial environments.
Ensures smooth, progressive spreading movement with precise control over applied force.
Maintains stable positioning between flanges, reducing the risk of tool movement during operation.
Allows quick transportation and setup for shutdown, turnaround, and field maintenance activities.
Ensures reliable performance and extended service life in offshore, chemical, and other harsh environments.
Prevents excessive force application, enhancing operational safety and protecting flange components.
