Flanged Valves

About Flanged Valves

Flanged refers to a type of valve connection where the valve has flat, protruding rims (flanges) on either end. These flanges are bolted to matching flanges on the piping system, forming a secure and sealed connection.

How Does It Work?

The valve’s flanges are aligned with the pipe flanges and connected using bolts and nuts, with a gasket placed in between to ensure a tight, leak-proof seal. The connection is mechanical, strong, and ideal for large-diameter or high-pressure systems. Installation typically requires precision alignment and tools.

Why Is It Used?

• Strong and durable connection for high-pressure and high-temperature systems
• Easy to assemble and disassemble for maintenance or replacement
• Allows precise alignment of piping and valve components
• Supports larger valves that are too heavy for threaded or compression connections
• Standardised sizes make it compatible with a wide range of systems

Common Uses:

• Industrial pipelines (oil, gas, chemicals)
• Water treatment plants
• Power plants and HVAC systems
• Marine and offshore installations
• Any large-scale piping system requiring a secure and serviceable valve connection
