SW9TM Mechanical Flange Spreader
The SW9TM flange spreaders feature an interlocking first step design that produces a smooth, parallel wedge movement perpendicular to
the flange faces being separated. This design reduces wedge bending or having the wedge slip from the joint being separated.
The SW9TM requires an access gap of 0.24 in. (6
mm) and is capable of producing a gap of up to
3.3" when using both step blocks. A total of 9 tons
of flange spreading force is available at every step
including the very first step.
Few moving parts insure durability and minimal
tool maintenance. A special coating is applied to
the flange jaws to reduce slippage. No forces are
created that would propel the spreading wedge
from the flange like a typical hammered wedge.
A solid sliding wedge between flange spreader
jaws eliminates jaw breakage and the potential
of flanges slamming together causing worker
harm or equipment damage.
The SW9TM is a small durable tool and an excellent choice for use on most flanges with an access gap of 0.24 inches.
