Description
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring (Socket)
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring (Socket) provides a socket connection for joining compatible PVC pipe to a Van Stone style flanged connection. The fitting combines a solvent-weld socket hub with a PVC flange ring for applications requiring a removable bolted connection to compatible flanges, valves, or equipment.
The Van Stone flange configuration with PVC ring provides installation flexibility by allowing the flange ring to be positioned for alignment with the mating bolt pattern. Selection should account for nominal pipe size, mating flange compatibility, gasket and bolting requirements, adjoining piping components, system alignment, service conditions, and available installation clearance.

Van Stone Flange Design
The Van Stone flange configuration combines a socket-style hub with a separate PVC flange ring to provide a practical transition from Schedule 80 PVC pipe to a bolted flange connection. The ring can be positioned around the hub to assist with bolt-hole alignment during installation.
This configuration is useful where piping must connect to compatible flanges, valves, or equipment while maintaining a serviceable bolted joint. Nominal size, mating flange configuration, bolt pattern, gasket requirements, and system layout should be confirmed before ordering.
PVC Flange Ring
The PVC flange ring provides the bolting interface used to secure the Van Stone flange assembly to a compatible mating flange. Its separate-ring design allows the bolt holes to be positioned for alignment without rotating the solvent-welded piping connection.
The ring should be aligned evenly with the mating flange before the bolts are tightened. Appropriate gasket and bolting components should be selected for the piping system, and flange hardware should be tightened using the applicable assembly procedure.
Socket Connection
The socket connection is designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe and forms the solvent-weld portion of the flange assembly. The pipe and socket surfaces should be clean and properly prepared before the applicable PVC solvent-cement joining procedure is started.
The pipe should be fully inserted into the socket and maintained in proper alignment during assembly. Appropriate PVC joining materials should be used, and the completed solvent-cement joint should receive the required set and cure time before the piping system is placed into service.
Socket-to-Flange Transition
A Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring (Socket) provides a compact transition where compatible PVC pipe must terminate at a removable bolted flange connection. Spears identifies its 854 Series as Van Stone style flanges with PVC rings and socket connections. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system. Nominal size, pipe compatibility, mating flange configuration, gasket and bolting requirements, service conditions, piping support, system alignment, and applicable installation practices should all be considered during selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm nominal size.
- Verify socket configuration.
- Confirm mating flange compatibility.
- Use appropriate PVC joining materials.
- Maintain proper flange alignment during assembly.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review nominal size, Van Stone flange configuration, PVC ring requirements, socket connection, mating flange compatibility, gasket and bolting requirements, compatible PVC pipe, system alignment, and installation requirements before you order.
