RenQuip Flange Spreaders - Viper-28 Series

The Most Powerful Spreader in the World

The Viper-28P Hydraulic Flange Spreading Wedge is your go-to solution for safely and effectively separating flanged joints during pipeline maintenance. With an integrated hydraulic pump and industry-leading spreading power, this tool provides unmatched performance in tough industrial applications.

Why the Viper-28P is the Smarter Choice

  • Unmatched Power: The Viper-28P delivers an impressive 27.7 tons of spreading force per tool, or 55.4 tons when used in pairs. It easily enters a narrow 0.20-inch access gap and provides a maximum spread of nearly 5 inches, making it the ultimate tool for even the most challenging flange separations.

  • Lightweight and Portable: Weighing just 16.5 pounds, the Viper-28P is easy to carry and maneuver, perfect for work in tight, confined spaces where larger tools might not fit. Its compact, efficient design maximizes portability without sacrificing performance.

  • Precision Spreading: The Viper-28P’s parallel-action jaw design ensures even, controlled spreading, preventing damage to flange faces or gaskets. The 0.63-inch deep jaw steps provide superior stability while the friction-reducing jaw bearing allows for smooth, controlled operation every time.

  • Safety First: Safety is a priority. The tool includes a safety block set for extra protection, no pinch points to minimize injury risk, and a safety lanyard to prevent accidental drops. Plus, every Viper-28P is load and pressure tested to ensure top-level performance under all conditions.
