SW14.5TI Hydraulic Flange Spreader

Equalizer Integral Hydraulic Flange Spreader

The SW14.5TI incorporates the power of hydraulics in a self-contained, reliable, hydraulic flange spreader for use topside or subsea.

Equalizer flange spreaders feature an integrated spreading wedge design that produce a smooth, parallel wedge movement creating a force perpendicular to the flanges faces being separated. This design eliminates flange damage and spreading wedge failure. (See il. below).

This drawing illustrates how forces are applied with the Equalizer spreading wedge. The downward force from the wedge is transmitted in a perpendicular motion to the flange faces that require separation.

Customers buy flange spreader tools and flane sepaaion tools from us that are easy to use and get the job done safely, with improved productivity. The SW14.5TI flange spreader is small, powerful, and easy to use.

Using the Equalizer SW14.5TI Integral Hydraulic Flange Spreader the maximum spreading capacity is 3.3" with both stepped blocks attached.

A problem may occur when using a SW14.5TI Flange Spreader on a flange with a large gap. For example when removing a blind. The wedge may protrude far enough to hit the blind or gasket as illustrated below.
