The FLYING LEAD ORIENTATION TOOL (FLOT) is designed to operate in conjunction with a torque tool such as OceanWorks TORNADO torque tool, for the connection of subsea flying lead assemblies. The FLOT and torque tool are mounted on a ROV and can be used for either flexible or steel flying lead connections.

The hydraulic rotary actuator located in the base of the FLOT allows the torque tool to be pitched a full 180°ƒ with a load of up to 600 lbs attached. For correct roll alignment of the torque tool with the Flying Lead Head Unit, the FLOT also allows a ± 15° rotational capability.
