Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe Flanges for Water
- For Use With: Drinking Water, Water
- Pressure Class: 150
- Maximum Temperature: 140° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, NSF/ANSI 61
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 80 PVC Plastic

Also known as Pressure Class 150 flanges, these flanges have thick, strong walls to handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water. Bolt two same-size flanges together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point within a line. All are PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. They meet ASTM D1784 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe flanges and pipe with compressed air or gas.
Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the flange, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
Flanges with stainless steel collar have a reinforcement on the female threads to prevent the threads from cracking.
