Secure-Grip Flange Spreader
HTL offer Equalizer’s Secure-Grip tools that spread via the flange bolt holes and are amongst the world’s safest flange spreading tools. These tools use patented expanding collet technology for application on flanges with a zero-gap or where spacers, spectacles or butterfly valves are positioned between the flange joints.
Small Secure-Grip Tool
The smaller, lightweight mechanical SG tools are used on small to medium-sized flanges, which are actuated by the supplied torque wrench. Suitable for bolt holes from 17.5mm (0.69”) to 39.0mm (1.54”), different collets are used to match the tool to the respective bolt hole diameter.
Medium Secure-Grip Tool
The hydraulic SG tools are used for medium to large-sized flanges and are actuated by an external hand pump. Suitable for bolt holes from 38.0mm (1.49”) to 62.0mm (2.44”), different collets are used to match the tool to the respective bolt hole diameter.
Large Secure-Grip Tool
The large, in-line hydraulic SG tools are suitable for larger sized flanges which are actuated by an external hand pump. Suitable for bolt holes from 59.5mm (2.34”) to 108.0mm (4.25”). Different collets are used to match the tool to the respective bolt hole diameter.
Zero Gap
These tools use patented expanding collet technology for application on flanges with a zero-gap or where spacers, spectacles or butterfly valves are positioned between the flange joints.
Technology
These tools incorporate expanding collet technology that delivers a measurable, controlled force which will separate flanges with little or no access gap.
