Flange adaptors are considered to be a type of dismantling joints that works to join plain-ended pipe to flange valves, fittings, pumps and pipe; virtually all types of process and liquid equipment. There is no requirement for threading or welding for flange adaptors and serves the purpose of correcting pipe misalignment.
At Dutco Tennant LLC, we supply high-end flange adaptors and are taking this product for the exhibit in WETEX 2022. The event will commence from 27th September ‘22 and conclude on 29th September ‘22. Be sure to be present at our exhibit as our expert representative will be delivering live demos and other more insightful offerings.

The Ultimate Perks/Features of Flange Adaptors
Offering longitudinal adjustment
With the use of flange adaptors, operators are able to achieve maximum 2” of longitudinal adjustment based on the diameter. This adjustable result is able to be obtained due to the telescopic action of the flanged spigot present within the flange adaptor.
Once the required length is attained, with the dismantling joint’s use, this length can be locked with the help of tie bars supplied. With the completion of longitudinal adjustment, operators can get rapid and simple maintenance of pumps, valves, etc.
It also enables simplifying future modifications of piping, often resulting in lesser downtime and getting rid of the need for more complex anchoring systems.
Better Sealing Performance
The gasket of the flange adaptors is independently compressed of the tie bars. Compression of the gasket is able to be achieved by going through standard flange adaptor procedure for installation.
It also enables the use of a torque wrench and a socket ensuring there is no occurrence of sealing failure as the gasket is compressed to the needed torque.
Ease & Speed of Installation
The installation of a flange adaptor can be done with a torque wrench and a spanner. Moreover, the dismantling joints are supplied with tensile strength tie bars that make the installation process. These ties bars act as flange jointing bolts that reduces the number of flange bolts needed.
Applications of Flange Adaptors
The use of flange adaptors helps in simplifying the installation and removal of the following -
Pump stations, sewage treatment plants, water treatment plants and other more applications use flange adaptors.
Key Installation Tips
Flange adaptors are utilized for field installations of standard threaded pipe flanges when the latter are resulting to be impractical due to cost and/or time restraints. Also, the set screws are an integral part of the adaptor to prevent blow-off and to offer restraint. The set screws need to be tightened to 70 ft. lbs torque.
Also, it needs to be kept in mind that the flange adaptors cannot be installed face to face.
