This is one of those parts that makes installs and future maintenance a lot easier. You're getting a 2 1/2 socket weld flange in 316 Stainless Steel built around a raised face sealing surface and 150# pattern. The raised-face sealing surface is designed to mate well with common gasket styles used on stainless systems. 316 provides extra protection compared to 304 in many real-world conditions. If you've ever needed to bolt pipe to a valve or piece of machinery, this socket weld flange is the part that makes that connection possible. Once welded, the connection is stable and helps keep the assembly from shifting under typical plant vibration. From quick repairs to planned upgrades, PLYET Industrial Supply ships the flanges you need without the runaround. If you're unsure which style is right for your setup, contact usÑwe'll help you narrow it down fast.
