Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Van Stone Flange (FPT) CL150
Schedule 80 CPVC Van Stone Flange (FPT) CL150 provides a detachable Class 150 flanged transition from a compatible male-threaded piping connection. The Female Pipe Thread connection combines with the Van Stone flange design to create a serviceable threaded-to-flanged connection.
The Schedule 80 CPVC Van Stone FPT flange uses a rotating backing-ring arrangement to assist with bolt-hole alignment while providing a threaded hub connection. Selection should account for nominal size, male-thread compatibility, Class 150 mating flange requirements, gasket selection, bolt pattern, and proper threaded CPVC installation procedures.

Van Stone Flange Design
The Van Stone flange design uses a separate backing ring around the flange hub. The ring can rotate independently to help align bolt holes with the mating flange without rotating the threaded piping connection.
The nominal size and Class 150 mating flange requirements should be confirmed before ordering. Proper gasket selection, bolt pattern, and flange-face alignment should also be established before final assembly.
Female Threaded Connection
The Female Pipe Thread connection accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded component. The mating component should start squarely in the flange hub to help prevent cross-threading.
Compatible thread-sealing materials and proper threaded plastic-piping procedures should be used during installation. Excessive tightening should be avoided to prevent unnecessary stress on the CPVC threads.
Class 150 Flange Connection
The Class 150 flange interface provides a detachable bolted connection to compatible flanged piping or equipment. The rotating backing ring can simplify alignment of the flange bolt holes during installation.
Bolts should be tightened evenly using an appropriate cross-pattern sequence. Proper gasket position and flange-face alignment should be maintained throughout assembly.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC Van Stone FPT Flange provides a serviceable transition from a compatible male-threaded component to a Class 150 flange connection. The threaded connection remains installed while the bolted flange joint can be disconnected for maintenance or equipment access.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, thread compatibility, gasket requirements, mating flange compatibility, and applicable installation standards should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping support should be maintained around the flange connection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the FPT configuration.
- Confirm Class 150 compatibility.
- Check gasket and bolt requirements.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, male-thread compatibility, Class 150 flange requirements, gasket and bolt requirements, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Van Stone FPT Flange used for?
It provides a detachable Class 150 flange transition from a compatible male-threaded piping connection.
What does FPT mean?
FPT identifies a Female Pipe Thread connection designed to accept a compatible male-threaded component.
