OVERVIEW

Techniweld Stainless Steel Welding Wedge - X-Large

The Techniweld TTV309 is a premium X-Large Welding Wedge designed specifically for industrial pipe fitting and fabrication applications. Measuring 8 inches in length and 1-3/4 inches in width, this tool is engineered to assist in the alignment, spacing, and prying of heavy pipe sections and flanges. Its primary distinction is its stainless steel construction, which is a critical requirement for facilities and contractors working with stainless steel piping systems.

In professional welding environments, cross-contamination is a major concern. Using carbon steel tools on stainless steel base metals can embed free iron particles, leading to rust and corrosion issues post-weld. The TTV309 solves this problem by providing a compatible material hardness and composition that maintains the integrity of the workpiece. This wedge is robust enough to handle the mechanical stresses of fit-up, including hammering and prying, while resisting corrosion itself.

Key Features for Distributors:

  • Material Compliance: Meets requirements for stainless steel isolation tools.
  • Durability: Solid metal construction ensures longevity under abuse.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of gap spacing and leveling tasks.

This tool is an essential stock item for suppliers catering to the oil and gas, food processing, and pharmaceutical construction industries where stainless steel welding is prevalent.

FAQ

It is made of stainless steel to prevent contamination when working on stainless steel pipes and plates.

The wedge measures 8 inches in length and 1-3/4 inches in width.

Yes, you can use it on carbon steel, but it is specifically designed for stainless steel applications to justify the cost and material properties.

It is constructed to be durable and withstand prying and hammering, though specific hardness ratings (HRC) are not typically specified for general fit-up wedges.

Using carbon steel tools on stainless steel can leave behind iron particles that rust, compromising the corrosion resistance of the stainless weld.

Yes, the TTV309 is sold as a single unit.

Yes, the tapered design makes it excellent for separating flanges to insert gaskets or align bolt holes.
