A flanged butterfly valve regulates fluid flow in a piping system. It has a cylindrical housing with a metal disc that opens and closes by rotating on a metal rod. The valve can be manually or mechanically operated and has a flange for installation with various connection hardware. A flanged butterfly valve is usually cylindrical […]
A flanged butterfly valve regulates fluid flow in a closed system. It has a cylindrical housing with a metal disc that opens and closes the valve. The valve is anchored by a flange that can connect to other sections of pipe with bolts, latches, screws, or clamps. A flanged butterfly valve is usually cylindrical in […]
A flanged pipe has a special area at the end that allows it to connect to a specific system. It makes it easier to connect and remove pipes. There are different types of flanged pipes used in plumbing, with various sizes and fitting styles determined by standards such as ANSI. A flanged pipe is a […]
Gaskets are used to seal pipe joints and prevent leaks and external contaminants. Flanged gaskets are used for flanged pipe ends, while socket and spigot joints use thick rubber gaskets. Flanged pipes use heavy-duty rubber gaskets or metal gaskets, such as O-rings or spiral wound gaskets. When pipes intended to carry a fluid or gas […]
Flanged bearings come in three types: four-bolt round/square, three-bolt triangular, and two-bolt diamond. They use ball, plain, needle, or roller bearings and can be made of plastic, bronze, or other materials. Flanged bearings support shafts against deflection, vibration, and axial load/movement. The type of bearing used depends on the problem, cost, space, and radial force. […]
Flange nuts have a flat surface area preventing sinking and distributing holding force evenly. They are useful for fastening wood and metal parts and come in various sizes and materials. Flange bolts are similar with a hex head and attached flange. Swivel flanges prevent damage to surfaces. A flange nut is a nut that has […]
A flanged hex bolt has a washer-like flange cast into the hex head, allowing for proper displacement of torque and clamping force over a larger area. It is commonly used in the automotive industry and can shift clamping force over a greater range, saving soft aluminum components. Mild steel is the preferred metal for most […]
Metric flange nuts are designed to fit metric bolts or threaded rods, providing even pressure distribution and resistance to loosening due to vibration, shock, and thermal stress. Hex heads are common, and swivel and spherical flange nuts offer additional benefits. They are identified by letter and number, with M3 to M20 being the most popular. […]
A flanged gate valve has integral flange plates at each end, allowing it to be easily added to existing pipe flanges. It features a circular disc that controls fluid flow and is commonly used in industrial settings. The valve can be mounted by aligning the holes in the flanges and tightening bolts. It is typically […]
The ball valve is a ball-shaped in-line device with an orifice in the center that allows product to flow easily when oriented correctly. Flanged ball valves have mating connections or flanges that allow for quick and easy replacement. ASME regulations ensure interchangeability. The valves come in many configurations and are mostly used in industrial plumbing […]
