If a spacer, blind or valve is installed
between the flanges, care should be taken
to ensure that the Collet or Collet Holder do
not extend beyond the flange bolt hole.
5.6 Tool Installation and Operation
Once the correct Collet has been
selected and mounted, tool operation can
commence.
The two halves of the mechanical Secure
Grip are inserted into opposing flange bolt-
holes.
Both drive nuts are tightened, locking the
tool into the flange bolt-holes.
The cantilever followed by the actuator are
swung and locked into position.

The actuator is tensioned, spreading the
flange to the maximum load capacity or
maximum spreading distance of the tool.
Before attaching the tool
ensure at least two flange bolts remain in
place 180 degrees apart with nuts loosened
sufficiently enough for flange work to be
carried out. These bolts will reduce lateral
flange movement during flange spreading.
Mechanical Tool Operation
The mechanical Secure Grip tools use
mechanical torque to advance the actuator
and spread the tool. The torque is applied
using the supplied torque wrench, enabling
accurate control of the force applied.
Torque Wrench Usage
Holding the Torque Wrench in one hand,
unlock the knurled handle by turning the
locking knob anti-clockwise.
Select the torque setting by turning the
knurled handle until the required torque
value is indicated.
