Description
PVC Schedule 80 Van Stone Flange (Socket x Solid Ring)
PVC Schedule 80 Van Stone Flange (Socket x Solid Ring) provides a detachable flanged transition from compatible PVC piping using a socket connection and solid-ring flange configuration. The socket connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the flange side provides the interface for connection to a compatible mating flange.
The Van Stone flange configuration combines a socket connection with a solid ring 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 flange arrangement allows the piping connection to be separated when access to adjoining equipment or piping is required.
The flange should be installed with adequate access for bolting, inspection, and future servicing. Adjoining piping and equipment should be aligned and supported so the flange assembly is not relied upon to correct piping offsets or carry unnecessary mechanical loads.
Socket & Solid Ring Configuration
The socket connection receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe, while the solid ring provides the flange-side connection arrangement. Each interface 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, mating-flange alignment, gasket placement, bolt positioning, and even 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 flanged transition. Matching the nominal size, socket interface, and flange configuration to the adjoining components helps maintain the intended piping arrangement.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, gasket selection, joining materials, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Detachable Flanged Connection
The flanged connection provides a serviceable interface between compatible PVC piping and an adjoining flanged component. This arrangement allows the bolted joint to be separated when access to connected piping or equipment is required.
Installation planning should consider flange alignment, gasket positioning, bolt access, surrounding components, and available service clearance. The adjoining piping should be properly supported so the completed flange connection remains aligned without unnecessary external stress.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the socket x solid ring 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 solid ring configuration, adjoining flange, gasket requirements, bolt-hole alignment, piping support, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PVC Schedule 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 Solid Ring mean?
It identifies a socket connection for compatible PVC pipe together with the specified solid-ring flange configuration.
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 joint arrangement.
Does the flanged 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, solid-ring configuration, 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.
