Description
Aluminum Straight Flange Fitting for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 UF Straight Aluminum Flange Fittings provide a direct transition from compatible PPS aluminum pipe to a flanged connection. These fittings combine the PPS pipe connection and flange interface into a single straight assembly for larger-diameter industrial piping applications.
Available in 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" pipe OD sizes, each configuration uses a corresponding flange size for a straightforward pipe-to-flange transition within compatible PPS piping networks.

Why Use a Straight Flange Fitting?
Direct Flanged Connection
- Transitions PPS pipe directly to a flange interface
- Combines the pipe connection and flange into one assembly
- Useful for connecting PPS networks to flanged equipment
- Provides a straight inline configuration
- Available for larger PPS pipe diameters
Matched Pipe & Flange Sizes
- 2" pipe uses a 2" flange
- 2-1/2" pipe uses a 2-1/2" flange
- 3" pipe uses a 3" flange
- 4" pipe uses a 4" flange
- Simplifies size selection for the connection assembly
Common Applications
Flanged Equipment Connections
- Compressors
- Receivers and tanks
- Large valves
- Process equipment
- Flanged piping components
- Industrial equipment connections
PPS Piping Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production systems
- Industrial utility piping
Selecting the Correct Flange Fitting
Select the PPS1 UF fitting according to the PPS pipe outside diameter. Each configuration uses the same nominal flange size as the corresponding PPS pipe connection.
For example, PPS1 UFC63 is designed for a 2-1/2" PPS pipe connection and uses a 2-1/2" flange. Confirm the mating equipment flange size and installation dimensions before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the PPS pipe OD before ordering.
- Verify that the flange size matches the mating equipment connection.
- Review dimensions A and B for installation clearance.
- For the 4" UF100 configuration, review the additional published flange dimensions.
- Use compatible PPS aluminum pipe and system components.
- Keep pipe, flange, and sealing surfaces clean during assembly.
- Support connected equipment and larger-diameter piping appropriately.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping connection before normal system operation.
- Install according to PPS system requirements.
