The FAAC Front Flange (P/N 4994165) is an authentic OEM component designed for use on FAAC 402 and FAAC 422 hydraulic swing gate operators. This precision-engineered front flange—sometimes referred to as a “flask”—is an octagonal metal part located at the front end of the hydraulic cylinder, offering essential structural support and acting as a secure mounting surface for the cylinder assembly’s key mechanical connections. Its precise fit and durability ensure smooth, long-term operation of the gate system.
Using the genuine FAAC front flange maintains the correct alignment and structural integrity of the hydraulic cylinder, helping prevent misalignment, premature wear, or hydraulic failure—ensuring safe and reliable gate operation.
Power off and secure the gate operator.
Remove the housing or protective cover to access the hydraulic cylinder.
Locate the existing front flange (P/N 4994165) at the front of the cylinder assembly.
Remove the flange carefully, noting orientation and seal positions.
Clean the mounting surface and inspect for wear.
Install the new front flange, ensuring a snug fit and proper alignment.
Reassemble the housing and restore power.
Test the gate for smooth operation and to confirm proper structural alignment.
This front flange is a vital replacement component for FAAC 402 and 422 operators. Keeping it in stock is essential for professional maintenance or repair jobs to maintain mechanical precision and extend the lifespan of hydraulic gate systems.
