Sawyer introduces Spacing Wedges for welders
Sawyer Manufacturing Company has introduced two sizes of Spacing Wedges, the newest in a lineup of exceptional pipeline and welding products.
The Spacing Wedge and Short Spacing Wedge spread the welding gap to the exact desired width, accommodating a range of small to large diameter pipe. The Large Spacing Wedge also has a longer blade space and a gradual taper.
Spacing wedges are traditionally spring steel that goes through a hardening process, through a different process we are able to get a harder wedge that is not brittle. Alan, a welder from Texas stated, “The spacing wedges are much higher quality than the tools we previously used. The coating makes them that much more likeable.”
Both wedges are hard-wearing and precision machined. They are designed to work in conjunction with our range of clamps to optimise any pipe fit up requirement.
The small and large Spacing Wedges are now in full-scale production at Sawyer's Tulsa facility.
