The Hydraulic Splitter Is Powered By A 10,000 P.S.I. Pump. The Cylinder Contains A Control Valve And A Piston That Moves A Plug Between Two Feathers. The Plug And Feather End Is Placed Into A Drilled Hole. The Plug Moves Down Between The Two Feathers Forcing Them Against The Wall Of The Hole. When The Tension Increases Beyond The Tensile Strength Of The Material, A Split Will Occur. The Entire Operation Of The Cylinder Is Controlled By A Single Lever On Top Of The Tool. The Plug Can Be Advanced And Retracted With This Lever. An Automatic Built-In Valve Reduces Pressure After Break.
