Flange Wizard TMT-4950 Flange Manipulator Tool

Product Description

The FLANGE WIZARD TMT-4950 is a mechanical hand tool designed to align flange bolt holes and spread flanges apart for gasket replacement or repair. It operates with no bearings, hydraulics, or pneumatics, keeping the design simple and reducing potential failure points on the job. The tool includes an aluminum bronze non-sparking wedge for safe flange spreading and a 150-pound switchable magnetic base that holds the tool in position during setup. Pipefitters and industrial mechanics working on flanged piping systems will find this tool suited for both routine gasket service and alignment tasks in confined or hazard-sensitive environments.

This tool is intended for use on flanged pipe connections in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems. It is well-suited for applications where bolted flanges require re-alignment or where gaskets must be replaced without full disassembly of the piping run. The non-sparking aluminum bronze wedge makes it appropriate for use in environments where spark hazards are a concern. A safety strap provides additional hold on the pipe during operation. The tool ships in a sturdy compact carry case for transport and storage.

Key Features

• Aluminum bronze non-sparking wedge for safe flange spreading in spark-sensitive environments
• 150-pound switchable magnetic base assists with tool positioning and setup
• No bearings, hydraulics, or pneumatics — fully mechanical operation with minimal maintenance
• Safety strap provides supplemental hold on the pipe during use

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard bolted flanged pipe connections requiring bolt hole alignment or flange spreading for gasket service.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or mechanical technician familiar with flanged piping systems. Before working on any flanged connection, depressurize and isolate the piping system in accordance with applicable safety procedures and local codes. Verify the magnetic base is fully engaged and the safety strap is secured before applying load with the wedge. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the tool or use it as a substitute for proper pipe alignment equipment.
