Page 8: Flange Misalignment Determination Procedure
4. FLANGE MISALIGNMENT DETERMINATION PROCEDURE The tool being used must not be attached to a flanged joint prior to the misalignment procedure being carried out. 4.1 LATERAL MISALIGNMENT Loosen and remove every second bolt around the flange , continue with this until misalignment occurs. -
Page 9: Rotational (Twist) Misalignment
4.2 ROTATIONAL (TWIST) MISALIGNMENT If the outer circumference of the flanges are in alignment but the operator is unable to fit the bolt into any two corresponding bolt-holes then rotational misalignment may have occured. In this case the alignment tool can be attached to the most accessible point as misalignment occurs at all bolt-holes to the same degree. -

Product Code: FA4TMSTD 5.2 HOW THE FA4TM WORKS The FA4TM is secured to the lower of the two flanges by fully inserting the lift hook into the bolt-hole at the point of greatest misalignment. The drop leg is adjusted down to the pipe while the tool is held level in the bolt-hole The wing retaining screw is loosened to allow the wing to be extended out. -
