What is a Mechanism Makes Loose Flange Connection Easier?
Are you spending multiple people and labor on a loose flange connection?
The detachable mechanism SRX solves the issues related to loose flange connection work. When tightening bolts to connect loose flanges of heavy piping, one person must support the flange while the other person tightens the bolts. However, it may be difficult to secure personnel to support the piping, and there is a possibility of occupational accidents such as falling accidents and back pain due to carrying heavy objects. SRX solves these problems by taking on the role of supporting the piping instead of a person supporting it, making it easy to tighten loose flange bolts and make a loose flange connection.
In this article, we will introduce the detachable mechanism SRX and show you how to install it on a loose flange.
What is SRX, the most suitable detachable mechanism for a loose flange connection?
SRX is a mechanical component that can attach and detach objects with a single touch. Since SRX can be attached and detached with a single action of one-hand operation, it can temporarily hold a loose flange before connecting or dismantling it with bolts, allowing a single person to perform the connecting or dismantling work. When connecting loose flanges and closed flanges, two workers are required, one to support the piping and the other to tighten and remove the bolts. The hard work of holding down the pipes may be hazardous to health, and if there is not enough manpower, the work may be interrupted and the work may not proceed as expected. And since the piping needs to be cleaned after removal, the work needs to be carried out efficiently.
SRX mounted on a loose flange can take the labor of one worker, supporting the piping instead of the worker, and simplifying the connecting process. The small size of SRX also makes it ideal for situations where there is no room for a worker to support the piping and the work would otherwise be difficult. SRX can withstand loads from any direction, so the piping can be vertically or horizontally. It is highly durable and can withstand connecting and dismantling of piping that are frequently cleaned. SRX's temporary holding force stabilizes the loose flange and allows it to be connected without shifting, thereby improving quality.

Preliminary preparation for loose flange installation
As a preliminary preparation, you need to install SRX main unit, but once it is installed, you do not need to remove it every time after that. SRX main unit can be easily attached to the loose flange by simply tightening the screws. SRX main unit can be installed in the empty space between the bolts.
Installation of loose flange
When installing the loose flange, a shaft inserted into the SRX acts as a temporary support on behalf of the operator. The shaft supports the loose flange and assists in the connecting process. Simply insert the shaft into the SRX body with a single click. Then, by fully tightening the loose flange with bolts, the piping connection is completed. It is not necessary to remove the shaft for temporary support.
Removing the loose flange
As in the installation process, the shaft inserted in SRX serves as a temporary support for the loose flange, which is necessary when loosening the bolts. The shaft provides temporary support so that the loose flange will not fall off when the bolts are loosened. Then the loose flange can be easily removed with a single push of the shaft inserted in SRX body.
Summary of What is a mechanism that makes a loose flange connection easier?
As introduced here, SRX is a detachable mechanical component, but it can be used as a temporary holding device instead of being completely fixed by SRX alone. We can also provide a shaft of a shape that meets your needs as an option. If you have any trouble in connecting or dismantling piping, please consider using this product.
