Description
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring (Spigot)
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring (Spigot) provides a spigot-to-flanged transition for compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangements. The spigot connection is designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket, while the separate PVC flange ring provides the bolted interface needed to connect with a compatible mating flange.
The Van Stone spigot flange configuration combines a solvent-cement piping connection with an adjustable flange-ring arrangement for easier final bolt-hole positioning. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, receiving socket requirements, mating flange compatibility, gasket selection, bolt alignment, piping support, and available installation clearance.

Van Stone Flange Design
The Van Stone flange configuration uses a separate PVC flange ring around the hub rather than a fixed one-piece flange body. This arrangement allows the ring position to be adjusted during installation, helping coordinate the bolt holes with those of a compatible mating flange after the piping-side connection has been established.
Separating the flange ring from the hub simplifies final alignment where adjoining piping and flanged equipment must meet at a specific location. The spigot hub establishes the piping connection while the PVC ring provides the bolting interface, allowing each portion of the fitting to perform a distinct function within the completed assembly.
Spigot Connection
The spigot connection provides an exterior joining surface designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket. This arrangement allows the flange hub to connect directly to a compatible socket fitting while the opposite side provides the Van Stone flange interface for the adjoining flanged component.
The spigot and receiving socket surfaces should be prepared using installation practices appropriate for the PVC piping system. Compatible joining materials, adequate insertion, correct alignment, and careful positioning help establish the piping-side connection without relying on the flange fasteners to compensate for improperly aligned adjoining components.
PVC Flange Ring
The PVC flange ring provides the bolted interface between the Van Stone hub and a compatible mating flange. Its adjustable arrangement allows the bolt-hole positions to be coordinated during assembly without requiring the solvent-cemented spigot connection to be repositioned solely for fastener alignment.
The ring should be positioned so the flange fasteners pass through the mating assembly without forcing either flange out of alignment. Proper gasket centering, ring positioning, and an even fastener-tightening sequence help distribute assembly forces around the joint while maintaining the intended flange-face relationship.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
A Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Flange w/ PVC Ring provides a practical transition where a compatible socket connection must interface with flanged piping, valves, fittings, or equipment. Combining the spigot hub with an adjustable PVC flange ring can simplify installation while maintaining the required piping and mechanical connection functions.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the Schedule 80 designation alone. Mating flange compatibility, service conditions, socket compatibility, gasket selection, joining materials, piping support, installation environment, and applicable practices should all be considered during flange selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the mating flange style.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Match the spigot to the receiving socket.
- Allow clearance for ring and bolt alignment.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, spigot connection, receiving socket, PVC flange ring, mating flange configuration, gasket requirements, bolt alignment, adjoining piping support, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Spigot Flange used for?
It provides a transition between a compatible receiving socket connection and a mating flanged component within a Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangement.
What does spigot mean?
Spigot identifies an exterior connection surface designed to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket.
What does the spigot connect to?
The spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket for the applicable PVC joining procedure.
What is a Van Stone flange?
A Van Stone flange uses a separate flange ring around the hub so the ring can be positioned for alignment with a compatible mating flange.
Why does this flange use a PVC ring?
The PVC ring provides the bolted flange interface and allows bolt-hole positioning to be coordinated during final assembly.
How is the spigot connection assembled?
The spigot and compatible receiving socket are assembled using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement preparation and joining procedure.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect the spigot before use.
- Center the gasket before bolting.
- Prepare the receiving socket correctly.
- Align the PVC ring before tightening fasteners.
- Support adjoining piping independently of the flange.
