Flange Adaptor Information

  • HDPE Pipe Grade Material: PE 3408
  • Material Cell Class #345444C
  • "T" must be at least - 1.25 times pipe wall thickness for full pressure rating.
  • One bolt length is used for each pipe diameter for all DR's. "T" is constant using DR 11 (or lowest available DR by size)
  • The face diameter fits inside bolt-circle to promote alignment and concentricity, with sealing.
  • "H" must be long enough to allow butt-fusion in all applicable fusion machines, size on size or larger. Consult fusion machine manufacturers for their required minimum length.
  • "R" must be matched to the radius of the metal back-up ring.
  • Corrosion protected convoluted Ductile-Iron back-up rings are recommended.
  • OD dimensions and tolerances machined in compliance with specifications of ASTM F714.
  • Flange adaptor wall thickness is 10% thicker than pipe to accommodate pipe end toe-in and out-of-roundness, while assuring virtually 100% butt-fusion contact.
  • Flange adaptors may be fused to same DR and to one standard DR higher (i.e., DR17 to DR21)
