The FSW17M flange spreading wedge can enter a flange joint access gap as little as 6mm (0.24”) and produce a maximum force of 326kN (32.6T) when used in pairs (as recommended) to push the mating faces of flanges apart. The FSW17 can create a gap up to 81mm (3.19”) between flange faces with the stepped blocks fitted facilitating the replacement of gaskets, seal ring’s, or other flange face maintenance and testing.
It is strongly recommended that a minimum of 2 flange spreading wedges are used when spreading a flange joint. The flange spreading wedges should be positioned at opposite sides of the flange joint and actuated as necessary to maintain a parallel joint gap.
