Flange Configuration
Female NPT Connection
The internally threaded center opening connects directly to compatible male NPT pipe without requiring a welded joint.
1/16" Raised Face
The precision-machined raised face provides a defined gasket sealing surface for dependable flange assembly.
Stainless Steel Body
Stainless steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance for demanding piping environments.
Construction Details
These Midland threaded flanges are manufactured from stainless steel for dependable corrosion resistance and long service life in compatible applications.
The female NPT connection allows installation directly onto threaded pipe, eliminating the need for welding and making the flange useful where hot work is restricted or undesirable.
A precision-machined 1/16" raised face provides an effective gasket seating surface when assembled with a compatible mating flange and gasket.
Why Choose a Threaded Flange?
No Welding Required
- Connects directly to male threaded pipe
- Reduces hot-work requirements
- Useful where welding is impractical
- Simplifies field installation
- Allows easier removal and replacement
Maintenance Friendly
- Threaded connection can be disassembled
- Useful for equipment connections
- Supports maintenance access
- Convenient for system modifications
- Suitable for retrofit piping work
Stainless Steel Construction
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel provides strong resistance to corrosion in many compatible industrial, commercial, and process environments.
Durable Service
The stainless steel body offers dependable mechanical strength and long service life when used within the manufacturer's specified operating limits.
Raised Face Design
Defined Sealing Area
The 1/16" raised face concentrates gasket contact around the flange sealing surface to support dependable sealing.
Gasketed Connection
Use with a properly selected gasket and compatible mating flange based on pressure, temperature, media, and flange requirements.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Mechanical piping
- Equipment connections
- Utility piping
- Maintenance isolation points
- General threaded piping systems
Industrial & Process Systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Process support systems
- Plant piping
- Corrosion-resistant fluid systems
- Compatible chemical service
Threaded Flange vs. Weld Flange
Threaded Flange
A threaded flange installs onto compatible male threaded pipe without welding, making installation and future removal more convenient.
Weld Flange
A weld flange is permanently joined to the pipe by welding and may be preferred where welded construction is required by the system specification.
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.
