Comprehensive Details on Lap Joint Flanges

Lap joint flanges are specifically designed to accommodate systems that require frequent disassembly or realignment. Featuring a flat face and a smooth surface, they are typically paired with stub ends that provide the sealing face and ensure a tight connection. These flanges are ideal for low-pressure applications, such as in chemical processing, water treatment, and marine environments. Due to their design, lap joint flanges allow for cost savings by using more affordable materials for the backing flange, while the stub end, in contact with the process fluid, matches the required pipe material. Our pricing varies depending on the material type, dimensions, and pressure class, providing competitive options that offer value compared to other flange types like slip-on flanges.

Key Features of Lap Joint Flanges

  • Flexible, reusable design ideal for frequent disassembly.
  • Cost-efficient, as only the stub end needs to match the pipe material.
  • Simplified alignment due to the rotatable flange component.
  • Compatible with various face finishes, enhancing gasket adherence.
