OVERVIEW

Precision Pipe Layout with the Flange Wizard FLA53025M

The Flange Wizard FLA53025M Small Magnetic Centering Head is an indispensable tool for professional pipefitters, welders, and fabricators who demand accuracy and efficiency in their layout operations. Designed to accommodate pipe sizes ranging from 1-1/2 inches to 10 inches in diameter, this tool simplifies the process of establishing center lines, determining angles, and locating points inside pipes and tanks. Its robust construction and thoughtful engineering make it a standard in the industry for small-bore pipe work.

Magnetic Base for Hands-Free Operation

One of the standout features of the FLA53025M is its powerful magnetic base. Unlike traditional centering heads that require the operator to hold the tool firmly against the pipe while simultaneously attempting to mark it, this magnetic version adheres securely to the workpiece. This hands-free capability not only improves safety by allowing the operator to maintain better balance and control but also ensures that the tool remains stationary during the marking process, resulting in significantly higher precision. The magnets are strong enough to hold the tool in place at various angles, making it versatile for complex fit-ups.

Durable Construction and Design

Manufactured from high-quality machined materials, the Flange Wizard Small Centering Head is built to withstand the harsh environments typical of welding shops and construction sites. The one-piece Y-shaped body is contoured to sit perfectly on the curvature of the pipe, ensuring immediate alignment. It comes equipped with a hardened steel center punch that delivers a crisp, visible mark on the pipe surface, which is critical for subsequent cutting or welding steps. The tool is resistant to heat and impact, ensuring a long service life even with daily use.

Application and Utility

This tool is specifically engineered for layout tasks such as finding top dead center, bottom dead center, and side points on cylindrical stock. It is an essential component of any pipefitter's toolkit, reducing the time required for layout and minimizing material waste due to marking errors. Whether working on carbon steel pipes in the field or fabricating stainless steel spools in the shop, the FLA53025M provides the reliability professionals trust.

FAQ

The Flange Wizard FLA53025M is designed for use on pipes ranging from 1-1/2 inches to 10 inches in diameter.

Yes, this model features a magnetic base that holds the tool securely to the pipe, allowing for hands-free operation.

Yes, the tool includes a hardened steel center punch for marking the pipe.

Yes, it can be used on non-magnetic materials, but the magnetic holding feature will not function. You would need to hold it manually against the pipe.

The body is typically machined from high-quality aluminum or steel for durability and heat resistance.

This specific model is the 'Small' version for pipes up to 10 inches. For larger pipes, a Standard or Large centering head would be required.

Place the Y-head on the pipe, ensure it is seated correctly, and use the punch to mark the center point indicated by the tool's alignment.

Yes, the center punch pin is a consumable part and can be replaced if it becomes dull or damaged over time.
