Description
3" Aluminum TTMA Buttweld Flange
3" Aluminum TTMA Buttweld Flange provides a weldable transition between compatible pipe and equipment using a standard TTMA flange connection.
Constructed from aluminum, the Dixon TTF3AL combines a 3" TTMA flange pattern with a beveled butt-weld connection for 4" pipe. The 3/8" thick flange face is machined to support a consistent gasket sealing surface.
Product Highlights
Aluminum TTMA weldable flange designed to connect compatible pipe to flanged valves and tanker equipment.
The TTF3AL uses a beveled butt-weld end with a machined 3" TTMA flange face for gasket sealing.
Technical Specifications
TTMA Buttweld Connection Configuration
The pipe-side bore is beveled to support butt welding to compatible 4" pipe as part of the completed tanker or fluid-transfer assembly.
The machined flange face bolts to compatible valves, sight-flow indicators, and other equipment using the standard TTMA flange pattern.
Aluminum TTMA Buttweld Flange Design
The Dixon TTF3AL provides a 3" TTMA flange pattern for connecting compatible tank-truck valves, sight-flow indicators, and related flanged equipment. The standardized pattern allows the flange to integrate with equipment designed around the Tank Truck Manufacturers Association connection layout.
Confirm the flange size and mating bolt pattern before installation. The gasket, mating flange, and associated hardware should all match the intended TTMA connection so the assembly can be aligned and bolted together correctly.
The TTF3AL is manufactured from aluminum for compatible tank-truck and fluid-transfer installations. The material provides a practical weldable flange for systems using aluminum piping and associated TTMA equipment.
Inspect the flange body, weld-preparation area, bolt holes, and sealing face before installation. Damage, distortion, contamination, or surface defects should be addressed before welding or assembling the flange to mating equipment.
The pipe side is beveled to aid butt welding to the compatible pipe connection. Dixon identifies the TTF3AL as a 3" TTMA flange intended for use with a 4" pipe size, so both dimensions should be confirmed during selection.
Welding should be performed using procedures appropriate for the pipe material, flange material, and application. Proper alignment before welding helps maintain the flange face position and reduces stress on the completed connection.
The flange side is machined to create an even surface for the gasket seal when connected to compatible TTMA equipment. Dixon specifies a 3/8" flange thickness for the weldable flange design.
Keep the flange face clean and free from gouges, weld spatter, or debris before installing the gasket and mating component. Proper gasket selection, bolt alignment, and even tightening are important for the completed flanged connection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
Confirm the 3" TTMA flange.
Verify the 4" pipe size.
Inspect the weld bevel.
Match the TTMA gasket.
Check flange alignment.
Our product specialists can help review TTMA flange size, pipe size, aluminum construction, gasket requirements, mating equipment, and weld connection requirements before you order.
