The FSW17P-BRONZE Spark Resistant kit is a popular choice for abseilers and tight access areas because the in-built Hydraulic pump removes the need for hoses and an external pump.
The FSW17P-BRONZE tool is design to enter the gap between flanges and force the flange open removing the requirement for traditional rigging equipment and certified anchor points.
It is highly recommended that a minimum of two FSW17P-BRONZE tools are used when spreading flange joints – This allows the operators to control the opening of the flange joint to maintain a parallel gap – this will ensure the tool maintains a secure grip on the flange and prevent pinching the gasket and potential flange face damage.
The FSW17P-BRONZE is actuated by hydraulic pressure that pushes a piston creating a linear force on the internal wedge – the internal wedge then forces the jaws of the tool apart.
Using high pressure hydraulics allows the operator to generate very high spreading forces without the requirement for an external power source. The Tool is lightweight and portable making it ideal for use in remote locations.
All RenQuip Spreading Wedge Tools are designed to be used in conjunction with RenQuip Flange Alignment tools.
All RenQuip tools are manufactured from the highest quality materials and 100% load tested resulting in highly durable, low maintenance products.
