SUM781235 - Sumner Qwik Pins Carbon Steel Flange Alignment Set

Fast and Frustration-Free Flange Fit-Ups

Every pipe welder knows the struggle of fiddling with threaded flange pins that are covered in spatter, stripped, or just take forever to screw in. The Sumner Qwik Flange Pins (SUM781235) are here to change that. These aren't your grandfather's drift pins; they are designed for speed and ease of use, letting you get the fit-up done and the arc struck faster. The "Qwik" in the name isn't just marketing—it's a promise. Instead of twisting a nut for five minutes, you simply slide these pins into the bolt holes, lock them down, and you're ready to level the flange. It’s that simple.

These pins are built tough from carbon steel, so they can take the abuse of a real fabrication shop or field site. They cover a huge range of bolt hole sizes, from 5/8" all the way up to 1-5/8", meaning you can grab one set of pins for multiple pipe sizes. This versatility saves you from carrying a heavy bucket of different-sized pins up a scaffold or into a trench. Because they don't rely on threads to tighten, you never have to worry about stripping them out or cleaning weld berries out of the threads before they will work. They lock solid and center themselves, giving you a perfect reference point for your level.

Using the Sumner Qwik Pins is straightforward. Insert the pin into the flange hole, engage the locking mechanism, and the pin expands or grips to hold the flange tight against the pipe face or fitting. Once you have your two pins set, drop your spirit level across them, rotate the flange until the bubble is dead center, and tack it up. When you're done, the quick-release lets you pop them out instantly. No hammering, no unscrewing, no hassle.

Whether you are working on structural supports or high-pressure piping, accurate alignment is key to passing X-ray and avoiding rework. These pins take the guesswork out of the equation. They hold the flange square and true, allowing you to focus on your gap and your tack welds. If you are tired of fighting with worn-out tools and want to speed up your workflow, the Sumner Qwik Flange Pins are the upgrade your tool bucket needs.
