How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

FM-Approved Low-Pressure Cast Iron Threaded Pipe Flanges
Suitable for use in fire-protection applications, these flanges are brittle and can be quickly opened with the strike of a sledge hammer. Bolt two flanges of the same size together with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point within a line. Use in noncorrosive environments.
Reducing flanges transition your system to a smaller pipe size. Attach them to a flange with a larger pipe size but with the same flange dimensions.
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
- Specifications Met:
3/4 Pipe Size: ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.1, ASTM A126, FM Approved
All other sizes: ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.1, ASTM A126, FM Approved, UL Listed - Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 steel
- Fittings: Use Class 125 iron and steel

FM-Approved Low-Pressure Cast Iron Unthreaded Pipe Flanges
- For Use With: Air, Diesel Fuel, Gasoline, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
- Pressure Class: 125
- Specifications Met: ASME B1.20.1, ASME B16.1, ASTM A126, FM Approved
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 steel
- Fittings: Use Class 125 or 150 iron and steel
FM-approved for fire protection applications, these flanges are cast iron, so they're brittle and can be quickly opened by hitting them with a sledge hammer. Bolt them together with a gasket (not included) to create an access point within a low-pressure pipe line. All are cap flanges, which are also known as blind flanges. Use them in noncorrosive environments.

FM approved, these fittings are suitable for use in fire-protection systems. All have flat-surface flanged ends that only mate to another same-size flat-surface flange, pump, or valve with a gasket (sold separately) to create an access point in a pipeline. Use them in noncorrosive areas.
- For Use With: Air, Natural Gas, Oil, Steam, Water
- Specifications Met: FM Approved, UL Listed, ASTM A126, ASTM B307, Fed. Spec. WW-F-406, ASME B16.1, ASME B1.20.1
