Description
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Split Flange Ring w/ 2 Halves
Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Split Flange Ring w/ 2 Halves provides a two-piece flange-ring configuration for compatible Schedule 80 PVC flanged piping assemblies. The split construction consists of two separate halves that can be positioned around the compatible flange connection, providing installation flexibility where a conventional one-piece ring may be difficult to install.
The Van Stone split flange ring configuration supports flange positioning and bolt-hole alignment while allowing the two ring halves to be installed around the adjoining assembly. Selection should account for nominal flange size, compatible flange components, bolt pattern, adjoining piping or equipment, intended service conditions, system alignment, piping support, and available installation clearance.

Two-Half Split Ring Design
The two-half split ring design divides the flange ring into separate sections that can be positioned around a compatible flange assembly. This configuration can simplify installation where surrounding piping, equipment, or existing connections prevent a conventional one-piece flange ring from being slipped into position.
Both halves should be correctly positioned to form the complete flange ring before the mating connection is secured. Proper assembly helps maintain even support around the flange connection and allows the bolt pattern to align correctly with the compatible mating flange.
Van Stone Flange Configuration
The Van Stone configuration supports positioning of the flange ring relative to the mating flange during assembly. This can make bolt-hole alignment easier when connecting compatible PVC piping to valves, equipment, or other flanged components where the mating bolt pattern has a fixed orientation.
The ring and associated flange components should be selected as part of the complete connection rather than by nominal pipe size alone. Compatibility between the ring, flange components, mating connection, bolt pattern, and intended piping system should be verified before installation.
Flange Alignment & Assembly
Correct flange alignment is important when assembling the two split-ring halves with a compatible mating flange. The flange faces and bolt holes should align naturally without using the bolting hardware to force misaligned piping or equipment into position.
Compatible hardware should be installed using the appropriate sequence and assembly practices for the complete flange connection. Adjoining piping should remain adequately supported so pipe weight, movement, or misalignment does not place unnecessary mechanical loading on the split flange ring or associated components.
Serviceable Split Flange Connection
A Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Split Flange Ring provides installation flexibility where access around an existing or constrained flange assembly is important. Because the ring consists of two halves, it can be positioned around compatible components without requiring the complete ring to pass over the end of the piping.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system. Nominal size, flange compatibility, bolt pattern, adjoining piping or equipment, service conditions, system support, installation clearance, and applicable flange-assembly practices should all be considered during product selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal flange size.
- Verify Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Confirm both split-ring halves are present.
- Check mating flange and bolt-hole alignment.
- Allow adequate clearance for assembly and service.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal flange size, Schedule 80 requirements, two-half split-ring configuration, compatible flange components, bolt pattern, adjoining piping or equipment, intended service conditions, system alignment, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone Split Flange Ring used for?
It provides a two-piece flange ring for compatible Schedule 80 PVC flanged piping connections.
What does “w/ 2 Halves” mean?
It means the flange ring consists of two separate sections that are positioned together to form the complete ring around a compatible flange assembly.
Why use a split flange ring?
The split design allows the ring to be installed around compatible components where access or piping geometry may make installation of a conventional one-piece ring difficult.
What is the advantage of the Van Stone configuration?
The Van Stone configuration supports positioning of the flange ring so its bolt holes can be aligned with a compatible mating flange during assembly.
Do both ring halves need to be installed?
Yes. Both halves are used together to form the complete split flange ring assembly.
Why is flange alignment important?
Correct alignment helps the mating flange faces and bolt holes come together without forcing the adjoining piping or equipment into position.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm flange size before ordering.
- Verify both ring halves before installation.
- Inspect split-ring sections before assembly.
- Align mating flange and bolt holes naturally.
- Support adjoining piping during flange installation.
