ZG18TE Zero-Gap In-line Hydraulic Flange Spreader

Spreading Force 18 T (180 kN)

Years of research and development have produced one of the safest, most innovative flange spreading tools available in the world today – The Equalizer™ Zero-Gap.
This ground-breaking tool uses unique patented expanding collet technology to deliver a measurable, controlled force which will separate flanges with little or no access gap.
Virtually universal, the Zero-Gap range covers ANSI, DIN, SPO, ASME, API and BS flanges.
