The FSW17 flange‑spreading wedge can enter a flange‑joint access gap as small as 6 mm (0.24”) and deliver a maximum force of 326 kN (32.6 T) when used in pairs, as recommended, to separate the mating faces of flanges.
With the stepped blocks fitted, the FSW17 can create a gap of up to 81 mm (3.19”) between flange faces, allowing for the replacement of gaskets, seal rings, or other flange‑face maintenance and testing tasks.
