EXTRACTS 5/8” AND 3/4” HEAT EXCHANGE TUBES

MANUAL OR PNEUMATIC, FAST, SAFE, COST EFFECTIVE

The GJ Series is designed to be used in conjunction with out TG Series Internal Tube Grippers. Once the proper Internal Tube Gripper has been selected, it is screwed into the tube to just beyond the tube roll. Use a ratchet drive or impact wrench. Slide the Gripper Jack sleeve (5/8” or 3/4”) and Thrust Bearing assembly over the Gripper and thread the Hex Nut over the extended end. The Socket Drive assembly is then placed over the Hex Nut and rotated in a clockwise direction until the tube engagement with the tube sheet has been broken and the tube has been pulled free.
