Wide-Tolerance Flanged Adaptor

Description

The Wide-Tolerance Flanged Adaptor is an essential maintenance fitting designed to connect plain-ended pipes of varying materials (e.g., Ductile Iron, Steel, PVC) to flanged equipment. Its "wide-tolerance" design allows it to accommodate significant variations in pipe outside diameter (OD), making it the primary choice for repair crews and site engineers who need to ensure a perfect, leak-free connection on legacy piping systems.

Technical Specifications

• Design Type: Wide-Tolerance / Universal Range Adaptor

• Pressure Rating: PN10 / PN16

• Body Material: High-strength Ductile Iron (GGG40/50)

• Sealing: Specialized wide-profile EPDM or NBR rubber gasket

• Coating: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) interior/exterior for superior environmental protection

• Hardware: Corrosion-resistant high-tensile steel bolts

• Tolerance Range: Wide OD range capacity (e.g., covering 10mm–30mm tolerance)

Key Applications

• Valve Retrofitting: Connects new valves to existing pipe networks where the old pipe diameter may be non-standard.

• Material Transition: Safely joins different piping materials (e.g., Steel to PVC) without needing special couplings.

• Emergency Infrastructure: A "must-have" fitting for maintenance teams in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan to handle unexpected line transitions.

• Field Versatility: Reduces inventory complexity by allowing one fitting to cover multiple pipe ODs.
