Flange adaptors join plain end pipe to flange valves, pumps, fittings and pipe; virtually all types of liquid and process equipment. They require no threading or welding, and allow for pipe misalignment. Flange adaptors are used for field installations in lieu of standard threaded pipe flanges when the latter are found to be impractical due to time and/or cost restraints.
Advantages :
- They provide a watertight rigid flanged connection.
- Eliminates solvent welding, tie rodding, harnessing and other forms of restraint.
- The adaptor flange also allows for maintenance of flanged systems and equipment by simply loosening the bolts and removing the flange.
