Frequently Asked Questions
Are these wrenches safe for use in explosive atmospheres?
Yes, these valve wheel wrenches are manufactured from non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum-bronze or beryllium-copper, which significantly reduce the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable gases or vapors. They are suitable for use in hazardous zones commonly found on tankers and gas carriers.
What sizes are available?
We offer standard sizes of 300 mm, 450 mm, and 600 mm, which cover most valve wheel dimensions typically found on marine vessels. Custom sizes can be provided upon request.
Do I need to maintain or treat these wrenches differently from steel tools?
Non-sparking tools require minimal maintenance, but it is important to keep them clean and free of foreign materials that could cause sparks. Avoid heavy impact that may cause excessive wear, and inspect regularly for damage.
Can I use these wrenches for other applications?
While specifically designed for valve wheels, the hook design can also be used for tightening or loosening other round flanged components with spokes or holes, making them versatile in marine maintenance tasks.
