"Universal Flange and Pipe Welding Fixture"

"Strong Hand Tools' universal flange and pipe fixture is designed to enable fabricators to reduce set-up time in flange and pipe joining and increase weld quality for greater repeatability. Flanges (diameter range: 3"" - 18.3""; hole count: 4 - 16) can be accurately located and securely clamped to the universal flange fixture plate in set-up for flange and pipe joining. Two guide blocks, set as required for each specific flange diameter and hole pattern, hold the flange against the fixture plate and expand symmetrically to accurately locate the flange. Pins in the two guide blocks provide easy flange loading. The fixture plate provides full welding clearance and allows easy removal of the finished weldment. The fixture withstands cumulative stresses resulting from welding, and holds the joined flange and pipe during cool down to prevent distortion, expansion and contraction. Multiple universal flange and pipe fixtures can be used for T-pipe set-ups. A how-to video is available on the Strong Hand Tools YouTube channel."
