Product catalog summary
Introduction: The document provides technical details and operational instructions for the FLANGE BOY, a tool designed for the mechanical separation of piping flanges. It highlights the tool's application, advantages, and specifications.
Specifications: The FLANGE BOY is suitable for various flange types, including DIN, ANSI (ASA), and British Standard flanges. It is available in different sizes to fit bolt holes ranging from 18 mm to 42 mm in diameter, and it supports pressure ratings from PN 10 to PN 160 and 150 lbs to 1500 lbs.
Operation Instructions: To use the FLANGE BOY, insert it into a bolt hole of a flange and secure it with a bolt support plate.
