Description
PVC Sch. 80 Van Stone Flange (Socket x Multi Bolt)
PVC Sch. 80 Van Stone Flange (Socket x Multi Bolt) provides a detachable flanged transition from compatible PVC piping using a socket connection and multi-bolt flange interface. The socket connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the flange side connects to a compatible mating flange.
The Van Stone flange configuration combines a socket connection with a multi-bolt flange arrangement for integration into compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, adjoining flange configuration, bolt-hole alignment, joining requirements, gasket selection, piping support, and available installation clearance.

Van Stone Flange Design
The Van Stone flange configuration provides a detachable connection between compatible PVC piping and an adjoining flanged component. The multi-bolt flange interface allows the piping joint to be separated when access to adjoining piping or equipment is required.
The flange should be installed with adequate access for bolt placement, tightening, inspection, and future servicing. Adjoining piping and equipment should be aligned and supported so the flange connection is not relied upon to correct piping offsets or carry unnecessary mechanical loads.
Socket & Multi-Bolt Connections
The socket connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the multi-bolt flange interface connects to a compatible mating flange. Each connection should be matched to the intended adjoining component before permanent assembly.
The socket surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement joining procedure. At the flanged connection, gasket placement, bolt-hole alignment, mating-flange condition, and even bolt tightening should be considered during assembly.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
The Schedule 80 PVC construction allows the flange to integrate into compatible PVC piping arrangements requiring a detachable socket-to-flange transition. Matching the nominal size, socket interface, and flange arrangement to the adjoining components helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, gasket selection, joining materials, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Multi-Bolt Flange Connection
The multi-bolt flange interface provides the bolted connection used to join the Van Stone flange to a compatible mating flange. Proper bolt-hole alignment and gasket positioning should be established before tightening the connection.
Installation planning should consider flange alignment, gasket placement, bolt access, surrounding components, and available service clearance. The adjoining piping should be properly supported so the completed flange assembly remains aligned without unnecessary external stress.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the socket x multi-bolt configuration.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Confirm the mating flange and gasket arrangement.
- Allow adequate clearance for bolted assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, socket x multi-bolt configuration, adjoining flange, gasket requirements, bolt-hole alignment, piping support, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC Sch. 80 Van Stone Flange used for?
It provides a detachable flanged transition between compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping and a compatible mating flange.
What does Socket x Multi Bolt mean?
It identifies a socket connection for compatible PVC pipe and a multi-bolt flange interface for connection to a compatible mating flange.
What connects to the socket opening?
The socket opening receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe for the applicable solvent-cement joining procedure.
What connects to the flange side?
The flange side connects to an appropriately sized compatible mating flange using the applicable bolted connection arrangement.
Does the flange connection use a gasket?
The completed flanged joint should use the gasket arrangement appropriate for the mating components and intended piping application.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, socket connection, multi-bolt flange arrangement, mating flange, and gasket requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both connection interfaces before use.
- Confirm the nominal connection size.
- Prepare the PVC socket connection correctly.
- Align the mating flange before tightening bolts.
- Confirm gasket placement before final assembly.
