Flange Unions offer a convenient method for connecting pipe and installing shut-off valves with identical groove patterns.Applications:Flange Unions are a practical alternative to weld or screw end connections. Where shut-off valves are used in conjunction with the flanges the valves may be replaced without performing any cutting operations. NPT and Socket Weld Flanges are suitable for use with ammonia, HCFC and HFC refrigerants and their associated oils, as well as other industrial fluids noncorrosive to steel and Garlock #2930. Lead gaskets are also available for two bolt NPT and Socket Weld Flanges for chlorine service.ODS Flanges are suitable for use with HCFC and HFC refrigerants and their associated oils, as well as other industrial fluids non-corrosive to steel, copper and Garlock #2930Main FeaturesTwo bolt flange design, connection sizes ½” to 1” nominalFour bolt flange design, connection sizes 1” to 4” nominaConnection types available: NPT, Socket Weld and ODSAll flanges with the same nominal connection size and number of bolts are interchangeableAll flange dimensions of the same type and nominal size are identical to those used on Henry Valve flanged handwheels and seal cap valvesTechnical SpecificationsNPT and Socket Weld SeriesMaximum working pressure sizes 1/2” to 2” = 1500 PSI (103.4 Bar)Maximum working pressure sizes 2-1/2” to 4” = 500 PSI (34.5 Bar)Allowable operating temperature = -20°F to +275°F (-29°C to +135°C)ODS SeriesMaximum working pressure = 500 PSI (34.5 Bar)Allowable operating temperature = -20°F to +275°F (-29°C to +135°C)Materials of ConstructionNPT and Socket Weld Series:The flange body is made from ASTM A105 forged steel.
