ydraulic and mechanical equipment supplier Renquip has launched the Viper-28, a flange spreading wedge
that, it argues, sets a new benchmark for the global flange tool market. Flange spreaders are tools used in
industrial operations to safely and efficiently separate flange joints. These tools help to create a necessary gap between flanges to facilitate maintenance, inspection, repair, or replacement of equipment.
SPREADING FORCE The Viper-28 is a powerful
flange spreader, boasting a spreading force of 28 tonnes and a precision tip measuring just 5 millimetres. This tool can be used with a wide range of applications for flanged joint maintenance, installation, and commissioning.
A LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN Despite its power, the Viper-28 weighs only five kilograms, combining lightweight design with strength. Its single-pin mechanism means the tool can be disassembled by hand for easy maintenance. The Viper-28 is durable, has undergone extensive field trials and been rigorously tested for endurance and overload. Marc Gerrard, managing director of Renquip, says of the company:
“our team has dedicated thousands of hours of engineering, design, and testing to the product. The launch of the Viper-28 represents our commitment to innovation.”

The tool’s certification and regulatory compliance highlights “Renquip’s dedication to safety and sustainability”, according to Gerrard.
