Flanges are used to bolt PVC pipes to pumps and valves etc. Flanged disconnectable fittings provide capability for maintenance and future changes to the pipeline.
The 50, 80, 100 & 150mm sizes are “stub” or short face flanges as opposed to the large full face flanges of other pipe sizes. These products include a PVC backing ring.
Vinidex recommends the use of a backing ring with all flanges of 50mm nominal size and over. Large washers should be used with bolts and nuts on smaller flanges. Do not overtighten.
