3 Copper Companion Flange

[Rocki Eibl]

The concept is very simple. Instead of having to install a brass companion flange that requires careful alignment of bolt holes during brazing, the CTS Copper Companion Flange uses a copper fitting brazed/soldered directly to the copper tube, backed by a fully floating powder coated steel flange fitted with a neoprene insulator. The integral insulator allows the CTS flange to offer 100% protection against electrolysis.

This NIBCO 2-piece solder pressure Class 150 companion flange is used in residential and commercial plumbing applications. The flange features a solder copper adapter and a steel flange. This fitting provides a means for adapting a solder connection to a flange connection. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. In addition to its inherent qualities of beauty, durability and low maintenance, copper's reusability makes it an ideal application in sustainable projects. NIBCO copper fittings are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, and backed by a 50-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

A copper flange is a type of pipe fitting that is used to connect two pipes or tubes together.

Low-lead cast copper and bronze soldered tube flanges connect to copper tubing or other fittings by heating or soldering for a permanent, leaktight connection. Cast copper flanges resist scaling and corrosion in potable water applications. These low-lead flanges are suitable for higher pressures than standard flanges and provide easy access for cleaning, inspection, and modification.

The APOLLOXPRESS 8771 large Dia press 150lb companion flange features a lead-free dezincification resistant copper body, a patented stainless-steel solid cross-section grab ring, a nylon separation ring and an EPDM O-ring. The black powder coating provides separation of dissimilar metals preventing electrolysis. Our large Dia APOLLOXPRESS products are manufactured utilizing proven ASTM materials and standards. Proudly made in the USA.

Oil and gas drilling involves a lot of plumbing, including pipe connections that require companion flanges. So, what is a companion flange? A companion flange corresponds to another flange to create a joint that fits into pipe connections. It has bolt holes that align with other flanges for quick jointing. As a result, it creates a pressure-tight seal.

Companion flanges are vital in oil drilling operations. They help oilfield operators to assemble and disassemble pipe connections quickly. Besides, the flanges have bolt-hole patterns that align with other flanges to secure pipe joints. As a result, they make oil and gas pipes repair and maintenance services easy.

All you need to do is place a flange in the pipeline and use a gasket to seal the sections tightly. As a result, the joint offers quick access during an emergency. The companion flange also allows convenient pipeline expansion for future construction additions.

Companion flanges come in different types, depending on the materials they are made of. Therefore, blending two or more pipes into a single system is easy without replacing the whole of it. For instance, you can add copper flanges to plastic plumbing systems.

Iron pipes can also blend well with brass flanges. However, blending different materials requires a matching flange and gasket. Besides, you need to use an anti-seize compound on the fasteners of different flange materials to prevent oxidation and rust.

Companion flanges are vital in sealing inspection openings to provide access points within plumbing lines. For that reason, a closed flange is often used to seal open pipes. Thankfully, you can change out the closed flange in the future when necessary. Also, the flanges make future additions or substractions within the pipelines easy.

Companion flanges are essential in the oil industry. If you want your oil rig to have a lot of longevity, a companion flange will allow you to change out your pipe size easily. Looking for this piece of equipment? Check out our products to see what we have for you!

The first thing to do before using a flange in your applications is to understand the different types of flanges available. Flanges help to connect pipes to other pipes, valves, fittings, and filters. They get joined by bolting through the holes around them. But...
