Integral Hydraulic Flange Separator 8T Manual Expansion Separation Tool YQ30 (with Box) A compact, reliable flange separation tool designed to make maintenance and work faster, safer, and cleaner. The Integral Hydraulic Flange Separator YQ30 delivers up to 8 tons of controlled separation force with a manual expansion mechanism and is supplied with a protective storage box for transport and onsite organization. Key benefits Safely separate stuck or corroded flanges without hammering or damaging flange faces or pipework. Manual hydraulic control provides steady, accurate expansion for precise, predictable separation. Compact, integral hydraulic design keeps the tool selfcontained and portable; ideal for confined or hardtoreach locations. Supplied with a storage box to protect the tool, simplify transport, and keep accessories together. Main attributes Model: YQ30. Capacity: 8T (eight tons) separation force. Operation: Manual expansion (hydraulic actuation). Design: Integral (selfcontained) hydraulic separator for straightforward setup and use. Packaging: Includes box for protection and transport. Functionality and performance Generates up to 8 tons of axial separation force to break flange joints, bypass rust, scale, or gasket adhesion. Manual hydraulic actuation allows controlled, incremental expansion and release to avoid sudden movements and reduce risk of damage. Compact form factor and integral hydraulic construction reduce the number of external components, making setup faster and operation simpler. Compatibility and suitability Designed for use on flanged connections where controlled, axial separation is required. Suitable for a wide range of pipework and equipment maintenance tasks where an 8T separator is sufficient. Portable format and storage box make it convenient for field service, plant maintenance, and confinedspace operations. Typical use cases Routine maintenance: Quickly separate flanges to change gaskets or inspect flange faces without resorting to heavy hammering or flame cutting. Equipment removal and service: Create enough gap to allow easier disassembly of pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other flanged equipment. Field repairs in confined spaces: Compact, selfcontained YQ30 fits into tight areas where larger separation systems cannot be used. How it improves your workflow Reduces downtime by speeding up flange opening and simplifying repetitive maintenance tasks. Minimizes risk of flange or pipe damage by replacing impact methods with controlled hydraulic force. Simplifies logistics—integral hydraulic construction and included box reduce the number of items technicians need to carry and track. Basic use guidance Position the separator between the flange faces as required. Operate the manual hydraulic expansion mechanism incrementally until the desired gap is achieved. Retract and remove when separation is complete. (Follow standard safety and lockout procedures for the system being worked on.) What's included Integral Hydraulic Flange Separator, model YQ30 (8T manual expansion). Protective storage box for transport and safekeeping. For professionals who need a dependable, portable separation tool, the Integral Hydraulic Flange Separator 8T YQ30 provides controlled, efficient flange opening with the convenience of a selfcontained hydraulic system and a protective box for onsite use.
