• a hinged flange comprising:
• a mounted flange comprising:
• a first hinge knuckle along at least one edge of the mounted flange;
• and
• a first plurality of fastener slots;
• a rotating flange comprising:
• a second hinge knuckle along at least one edge of the rotating flange;
• and
• a second plurality of fastener slots;
• wherein
• the rotating flange is coupled to the mounted flange via a pin configured to pass through the first hinge knuckle of the mounted flange and the second hinge knuckle of the rotating flange, and the rotating flange is coupled to the mounted flange such that at least one fastener slot of the second plurality of fastener slots is substantially aligned with at least one fastener slot of the first plurality of fastener slots when the rotating flange is substantially flush with the mounted flange;
• and
• a snoot and flow diverter assembly coupled to the rotating flange via a fastener passed through at least one of the second plurality of fastener slots, the snoot and flow diverter assembly, the snoot flow diverter assembly comprising:
• a snoot;
• and
• a flow diverter.
