Tube OD Slip-On Design
The Tube OD slip-on design allows the flange to fit over compatible tubing or pipe based on outside diameter. This configuration can simplify positioning and alignment during installation in low-pressure systems.
Always confirm the actual outside diameter of the tubing or pipe and the flange opening before ordering.
Serrated Sealing Surface
The flange face is serrated to help improve gasket seating and sealing performance in compatible bolted flange assemblies.
Proper gasket selection, flange alignment, bolting, and installation practices should be verified for the intended application.
304/L vs. 316/L Stainless Steel
304/L Stainless Steel
- General-purpose corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many commercial and industrial applications
- Commonly used in water and process systems
- Low-carbon grade supports improved corrosion performance
316/L Stainless Steel
- Enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding environments
- Commonly selected for marine and chemical service
- Suitable for many chloride-exposed applications
- Low-carbon grade supports improved corrosion performance
Economical Low-Pressure Flange Option
Plate flanges provide a lighter and more economical alternative to heavier ANSI flange designs where the system operates within appropriate low-pressure conditions.
This makes them a practical option for less critical applications where full forged ANSI flange construction is not required.
Common Applications
Commercial & Industrial
- Low-pressure piping systems
- General industrial service
- Water systems
- Commercial process piping
- Equipment connections
Corrosion-Resistant Systems
- Stainless steel tubing systems
- General process applications
- Light-duty fabrication
- Marine or chemical service where appropriate
- Applications requiring 304/L or 316/L stainless construction

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tube OD slip-on plate flange?
It is a plate-style flange designed to slip over compatible tubing or pipe based on outside diameter for use in suitable low-pressure applications.
What pressure class is this flange?
This is a 150# plate flange intended for compatible low-pressure service.
What sizes are available?
The listed size range is 1-1/2" through 12".
What material are these flanges made from?
They are manufactured from stainless steel plate conforming to ASTM A240/SA240.
What stainless steel grades are available?
These flanges are available in 304/L and 316/L stainless steel.
Why is the surface serrated?
The serrated surface is designed to help improve gasket seating and sealing performance in compatible flange assemblies.
How do plate flanges compare with heavier ANSI flanges?
Plate flanges provide a more economical alternative for suitable low-pressure and less critical applications where a heavier forged ANSI flange is not required.
Why is outside diameter important?
This flange style is based on Tube OD fit, so the actual outside diameter of the connected tubing or pipe should be verified before ordering.
