The FSW17D is a Hydraulic flange spreading tool kit used to separate flange joints for maintenance, Installation, testing and decommissioning. The kit contains two FSW17 spreading wedge Tools, stepped blocks and safety blocks but a hydraulic pump and hoses will be required to operate the tools, they are packaged in a robust carry case for easy transport and storage.
The FSW17D:
- Requires a minimum flange gap of 6mm (0.24”)
- Spreads the flanges with a parallel action ensuring a full 15mm Jaw step contact is maintained for safe and stable spreading.
The FSW17 produces a maximum spreading force of 163kN (36644lbf) per tool 326kN (73288lbf) when used in pairs and the maximum hydraulic pressure of 700bar (10,000PSI) is applied.
A powerful and portable Hydraulic tool, the FSW17 weighs only 7Kg (15.4lbs) and is the correct hydraulic tool for medium and small sized flange joints that require spreading.
