The Flange Skillet® is designed to be cost effective
and safe. The time and motion saved during installation
and centering of the Ring Gasket Holder is enormous. By
having a handle on the skillet, a large Finger Safety Factor
is enhanced. It also protects the flange by keeping out
foreign matter from between the flange faces. The handle
has a break-away point at the O.D. of the flange in order
to install a flange protector if desired. Both Micarta (non-conductive
material) and Steel skillets are available. All sizes larger
than 12" in diameter are manufactured using steel.
This tool is designed to hold various size RTJ flange gaskets
for the safe and positive insertion between two flange faces
without putting the installer in danger and to decrease
the time of flange up. This will be of extreme benefit when
there is poor visibility, heavy motion or awkward positioning
of flanges.
