HYDRO FLANGE ADAPTORS & COUPLINGS

HYDRO FLANGE ADAPTORS & COUPLINGSHydro Flange Adaptors Flange Adaptors are used to join a plain-ended pipe to a flanged pipe, fittingor valve giving an effective leak proof seal. They can accommodate a considerable amount of deflection without loss of performance.Harnessed flange adaptors used in conjunction with a flange spigot (complete with a tie flange) are an excellent method for providing a dismountable joint in a flanged pipeline. This is achieved by replacing four ofthe bolts with tie studs. Where necessary the backing ring of the flange adaptor is notched to give clearance for the tie studs. Hydro CouplingsCouplings are used to join plain-ended pipes of the same material together; some wide tolerance couplings can join different pipe materials. Couplings offer a considerable amount of deflection, which makes them the ideal choicefor underground applications.
