ZFSA Series Hydraulic Fixed Flange Alignment Tool
The ZFSA Series Hydraulic Fixed Flange Alignment Tool is a heavy-duty alignment solution engineered to safely and efficiently correct flange misalignment without cutting, heating, or excessive manual force. Designed for pipeline installation, shutdown, maintenance, and industrial repair work, it uses high-pressure hydraulic force to push, pull, or realign flanges with controlled precision. This allows technicians to achieve accurate bolt hole alignment, restore proper gasket seating, and reduce downtime during flange assembly or disassembly. Built with a robust steel body and precision hydraulic components, the ZFSA Series delivers stable, reliable performance under continuous high-load conditions. Its fixed engagement design provides secure attachment to the flange face, ensuring safe, controlled movement even in tight or hazardous work areas. The compact structure and simple setup make it suitable for confined spaces while minimizing operator effort and improving overall jobsite safety. ZFSA Series Hydraulic Fixed Flange Alignment Tool is ideal for petrochemical plants, refineries, power generation facilities, offshore platforms, marine applications, and general industrial piping systems where accurate flange alignment, reduced mechanical stress, improved workflow efficiency, and dependable heavy-duty performance are essential for maintaining safe and leak-free connections.

Hydraulic Fixed Flange Alignment Tool
- The Flange Alignment tools can align or re-align flange joints during pipework construction, commissioning, or routine maintenance.
- The tool is attached to the flange joint where misalignment is most significant, then pushes and pulls the flanges into the correct alignment (except for ZSFA-9TE).
- The Flange Alignment tools quickly, safely, and without an external power source rectify twist and rotational misalignment.
- Appropriate for use on most ANSI, API, BS, and DIN flanges.
- No slings, hooks, or lifting gear is required.
- It can be installed and used in any orientation (horizontal or vertical).
- Portable, lightweight design enables easy transport and use, even in remote locations.
