Description
150# Ductile Iron Reducing Companion Flange
150# Ductile Iron Reducing Companion Flanges provide a flanged transition between different nominal pipe sizes while maintaining a compact, durable connection in compatible piping systems.
Constructed from ductile iron, the reducing companion flange combines a Class 150 flanged connection with a reduced threaded outlet for connecting smaller threaded piping to larger flanged equipment, valves, or piping components.

Construction Details
The reducing companion flange is manufactured from ductile iron, providing a strong and durable fitting for compatible flanged piping systems.
Its reducing configuration allows a larger flanged connection to transition directly to a smaller threaded pipe connection without requiring a separate reducing fitting.
The flange is designed to mate with a compatible Class 150 flanged component while the threaded outlet connects to properly sized threaded pipe or fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reducing companion flange?
A reducing companion flange provides a flanged connection while transitioning the piping system to a smaller threaded connection.
What material is this flange?
This reducing companion flange is constructed from ductile iron.
What connection configuration does it use?
It combines a flanged connection with a reduced threaded outlet for connecting different nominal pipe sizes.
What does 150# mean?
150# identifies the flange or fitting class and should not by itself be interpreted as a universal 150 PSI working-pressure rating.
Why use a reducing companion flange?
It provides a compact way to transition from a larger flanged connection to a smaller threaded pipe connection.
Is a gasket required at the flanged connection?
A suitable gasket should be selected for the mating flange faces, conveyed media, temperature, and operating conditions.
What should be checked before connecting the flange?
Confirm the mating flange class, bolt pattern, flange size, gasket compatibility, and reduced threaded outlet size.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both nominal connection sizes, Class 150 requirements, flange compatibility, threaded outlet requirements, and system service conditions.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both nominal sizes.
- Verify mating flange compatibility.
- Select the proper flange gasket.
- Confirm threaded outlet requirements.
- Follow proper bolting practices.
