About FLANGE TO NRV ADAPTOR
PVC-to-flange adapters provide a transition between PVC pipes and flanged valves, pumps, or metallic pipe systems. They typically utilize a socket/solvent weld or threaded end to connect to the PVC pipe, and a flat flanged face with standardized bolt holes for mating.
Core Specifications
- Size Range: DN50 to DN600 (Metric 20mm to 630mm, or Imperial
- Pressure Ratings: Designed for PN10 or PN16 kg/cm (approximately 150 PSI to 230 PSI). High-pressure Schedule 80 is also common.
- Materials: Unplasticized PVC (PVC-U / uPVC) or Heavy-Duty High-Impact PVC. Mechanical adapters often use Ductile Iron bodies.
- Standards Compliance: Conforms to ASTM D2241, EN 1452-3, or AWWA C-900.
- Drilling Pattern: Matches universal drilling patterns like ANSI B16.1 (125 lb) or ASME B16.5 (150 lb).
Connection Types & Features
- Socket/Solvent Weld: One end slides directly over the PVC pipe and requires PVC cement for a permanent, leak-proof seal.
- Mechanical (Restrained) Adaptors: Uses serrated metallic or rubber clamping rings to lock the PVC pipe in place via tightened bolts without requiring solvent cement.
- Van Stone (Floating) Flanges: Features a loose ring over a spigot adapter, allowing it to rotate for easy bolt-hole alignment during installation.
- Gaskets: Utilizes dual-seal EPDM or NBR gaskets to prevent media leaks between the mating faces.
