Flange-type fittings are the connection of choice for many fluid transfer systems, especially those involving suction or high-pressure applications. With a flat rim or collar that provides added strength and stability, flange fittings are commonly used to connect pipe sections and other heavy-duty equipment such as pumps and valves during projects such as sewer bypass work or construction site dewatering.
If you need flange fittings for your next project, it’s important to know that not all flange products are alike. At Wolf Creek Portable Piping Products, we strive to make life easier for our customers with our range of lightweight, reliable, and affordable flange fittings.
Here are three smart reasons to choose Wolf Creek’s flanged fittings:
#1: Reliable, Leak-Proof Connections
At Wolf Creek, our flanged fittings are designed to endure most fluid substances, making them ideal for a variety of suction and pressure applications. For jobs that demand the industry’s best fitting, we’re proud to offer True Genuine Bauer couplings for flanged fittings, providing a reliable connection and easy assembly and disassembly in the field.
#2: Quality You Can Depend On
Produced from high-grade, high-tensile steel, Wolf Creek’s 150 ANSI flanges and quick-connect fittings are created with quality in mind. Our flanged fittings can withstand running pressures of 174 PSI and articulate up to 30 degrees to handle the most uneven terrains. Plus, with a heat resistance rating up to 230°F, our fittings can handle the toughest of applications.
#3: Ease of Transfer and Assembly
Large flange fittings are commonly made from ductile iron, which means they can weigh upwards of 300 pounds. Because they are so bulky, heavy, and difficult to move, working with ductile iron flange fittings can often lead to safety issues, including strain and injuries such as back, arm elbow, and wrist pain and pinched or broken fingers. By contrast, Wolf Creek’s flanged fittings are made from lightweight galvanized steel, and even our larger size options — like the custom-fabricated 12-inch by 18-inch plate flange — weigh only around 90 pounds. Our lightweight flanges can even be carried by one person on the job site, saving time and effort.
Not only are our lightweight galvanized steel flange products lighter and easier to move than ductile iron flange products, but they’re also significantly more affordable. Make the most of your project budget and reduce job site injuries — it’s a win-win for you and your team!
