The FSH14 Flange Spreader with its integral cylinder makes it easy to apply up to 14 tons of force (118 kN). It uses hydraulic force to separate the jaws - unlike mechanical equivalents (such as the FSM8) which rely on a ratchet mechanism.
The FSH14 tool fits into very small clearance gaps of 0.24 inch (6 mm). It uses a friction-free, smooth, parallel wedge movement to prevent flange damage and spreading arm failure.
Features
Integrated hydraulic cylinder: uses hydraulic force to open the jaws
Integrated wedge concept: friction-free, smooth, parallel wedge movement eliminates flange damage and spreading arm failure
Unique interlocking wedge design: no first step bending and risk of slipping out of joint
Requires very small access gap of only 0.24 inches (6mm)
Stepped spreader arm design: each step can spread under full load
Few moving parts means durability and low maintenance
Safety block SB1 included
