Zero-Gap Flange Spreader Allows Safe, Efficient Valve Swaps

The SMP Valve-Out tool is a seven ton, zero-gap flange spreader that allows a small crew to safely and efficiently swap valves, meters or gaskets on steel piping systems.

The Valve-Out tool can fit any flanges with bolt-hole sizes ranging from ¾ inch through 1 3/8 inch (5/8-inch through 1 ¼-inch bolt size) and can adapt to any lay length needed. Because the Valve-Out tool grabs the outside companion flanges there is no gap required for this tool to work, and you will be able to easily clean your flange faces and insert gaskets after you drop your new valve in.

“I don’t know how a water or sewer utility can be without this tool,” said one city director of utilities. “It’s a major improvement to the old way of doing things. Our employees are safer and more productive.”

The optional Valve-Out Water Service Kit also includes a set of Titan flange alignment pins and Piper backup wrenches to make bolt-up just as easy.
