Universal flange adaptors feature an extended tolerance range to connect plain-end pipes of different materials and outside diameters to flanged valves, pumps, or fittings.

What is a Universal Flange Adaptor?

Unlike dedicated adaptors for specific pipe materials, universal flange adaptors have a wider grip ring tolerance to accommodate variations in pipe OD—fitting steel, ductile iron, PVC, PE, asbestos cement, and more with one product.

They provide axial restraint, misalignment tolerance, and easy disassembly—perfect for mixed-material systems or when pipe specifications vary.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Wide Tolerance Range: Accommodates multiple pipe materials and OD variations in one adaptor.
  • Reduced Inventory: One universal product replaces multiple dedicated adaptors.
  • Quick Installation: No welding; simple bolt-up with axial and angular flexibility.
  • Reliable Sealing: EPDM gasket and robust clamping for leak-tight performance.
  • Misalignment Tolerance: Handles angular deflection and axial movement.

Advantages

At Sunny Steel, we are guided by three fundamental core values that shape our approach and drive our success.

1. Versatility

Flange adapters allow for the connection of different types of flanges, such as ANSI, DIN, or JIS flanges, enabling compatibility between different flange standards. This versatility makes it easier to connect and integrate various components and piping systems.

2. Flexibility

Flange adapters provide flexibility in adapting flanged components to non-flanged equipment or systems. They allow for the connection of flanged pipes to valves, pumps, or other equipment that may not have flanged ends, eliminating the need for extensive modifications or welding.

3. Easy installation and removal

Flange adapters simplify the installation and removal process compared to welding or other permanent joining methods. They can be easily aligned and bolted together, reducing downtime during maintenance or repairs.

4. Leak-proof connections

The use of gaskets or sealing elements with flange adapters ensures a tight and leak-proof connection between flanged components. This helps prevent fluid or gas leakage, promoting safety and efficiency in the piping system.

5. Cost-effective

Flange adapters can be a cost-effective solution compared to welding or using custom-made flanged components. They eliminate the need for complex fabrication, reduce labor costs, and enable faster installation and disassembly.

6. Durability and reliability

Flange adapters are typically made from sturdy and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability in demanding environments. They can withstand high pressures, temperature variations, and chemical exposures.

7. Modular design

Flange adapters allow for modular construction and easy reconfiguration of piping systems. They can be easily disconnected and reused, offering flexibility in system design, modification, or expansion.
