Connection Configuration
Female Threaded Connection
The FIPT opening accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or equipment connection.
Bolted Flange Connection
The flange face and bolt pattern provide a mechanical connection to a compatible mating flange, valve, pump, equipment connection, or other flanged piping component.
Construction Details
The flange is manufactured from high-quality Schedule 80 PVC for dependable durability in compatible pressure piping applications.
The female threaded opening provides a mechanical connection to compatible male-threaded piping, while the flange face provides a bolted interface for equipment or piping transitions.
The supplied product information identifies a 150-pound flange pattern and lists the fitting pressure rating as 150 psi at 73°F (23°C). Always verify the allowable operating conditions of the complete assembled system.

Pressure Rating & Temperature
The supplied product information lists this Schedule 80 PVC floor flange at 150 psi at 73°F (23°C).
Pressure capability can be affected by operating temperature, mating components, gasket selection, bolt loading, system design, and other application conditions.
The pressure rating of the complete flange assembly should not exceed the rating of its lowest-rated component. Consult manufacturer documentation for complete pressure and temperature guidance.
Referenced Standards
- NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking water system components - health effects
- NSF/ANSI 14: Plastic piping system components and related materials
- ASTM D1784: Rigid PVC and CPVC compounds
- ASTM F1970: Special engineered fittings, appurtenances, or valves for PVC or CPVC systems
- CSA B137.3: Rigid PVC pipe and fittings for pressure applications
Installation
Verify the nominal FIPT size, flange size, flange pattern, pressure requirements, and compatibility with the intended piping and mating component before installation.
For the threaded connection, inspect and clean all threads before assembly. Use a thread-sealing method compatible with PVC and the intended service, and start the male-threaded component by hand to help prevent cross-threading.
At the flange connection, use a gasket suitable for the fluid, pressure, temperature, and flange materials. Align the mating flange faces before installing bolts.
Tighten flange hardware gradually and evenly using an appropriate cross-pattern sequence. Avoid excessive bolt torque or uneven loading that could damage PVC flange components.
Our piping specialists can help review your thread size, mating flange, pressure requirements, gasket selection, chemical compatibility, and installation needs before you order.

What is a Schedule 80 PVC FIPT floor flange used for?
It is used to transition from a compatible male-threaded piping connection to a bolted flange connection for equipment, valves, pumps, or other flanged components.
What does FIPT mean?
FIPT means Female Iron Pipe Thread. The opening contains internal threads designed to accept a compatible male-threaded component.
What is the pressure rating?
The supplied product information lists a pressure rating of 150 psi at 73°F (23°C).
What does a 150-pound flange pattern mean?
It identifies the flange pattern specified for this product. It should not be interpreted by itself as the pressure rating of the completed system.
Does this flange require solvent cement?
No. The pipe-side connection on this version is female threaded rather than socket solvent-weld.
Is a gasket required between mating flanges?
A suitable gasket is typically used between mating flange faces. Gasket selection should match the fluid, pressure, temperature, flange materials, and manufacturer recommendations.
Should PVC threaded connections be overtightened?
No. Excessive tightening can stress or damage PVC threads or the fitting body. Start threaded components by hand and tighten only as required.
Can this flange be used for drinking water systems?
The supplied product information identifies NSF/ANSI 61 compliance for drinking water system components.
What ASTM and CSA standards are referenced?
The supplied product information references ASTM D1784, ASTM F1970, and CSA B137.3.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the FIPT size, flange size and pattern, mating component, pressure and temperature requirements, gasket requirements, chemical compatibility, and intended system application.
