Flange Configuration
3" Slip-On Bore
The slip-on design allows the flange to slide over compatible 3" pipe, simplifying alignment and positioning before the flange is permanently welded in place.
Raised Face
The raised face provides a concentrated gasket seating area to support dependable sealing when assembled with a compatible mating flange and gasket.
Class 150
The flange is identified as a Class 150 component for use with compatible Class 150 flange connections and properly selected system components.
Construction Details
Manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel, this flange provides long-lasting durability along with dependable resistance to corrosion and oxidation in compatible service environments.
The slip-on bore allows the flange to be positioned over the pipe prior to welding. Properly installed fillet welds secure the flange to the piping system and create a permanent connection.
A precision-machined raised face provides a consistent gasket seating surface to support reliable sealing when paired with the correct gasket, mating flange, and bolting hardware.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
Corrosion Resistance
Type 304 stainless steel provides excellent general-purpose corrosion and oxidation resistance for a wide range of compatible commercial and industrial environments.

Slip-On vs. Weld Neck Flange
Slip-On Flange
A slip-on flange slides over the pipe before welding, making initial positioning and alignment straightforward. It is secured to the pipe using fillet welds.
Weld Neck Flange
A weld neck flange uses a tapered hub and is butt welded directly to the pipe. Selection between flange styles should be based on the piping specification and application requirements.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.
