 AMERICAN Flanged Pipe

The principal standards covering Flanged Pipe are ANSI/AWWA C115/A21.15

and ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10. These and other standards are referenced
throughout this Section either by the full ANSI/AWWA designation or by only
the AWWA numbering, such as AWWA C115.

Notes:
*Pressure rating designated is maximum water working pressure and is based on the 350 psi allowable rating of 24” and smaller flanges in C111 and the
250 psi maximum rating of other sizes of C110 or C115 flanges. Contact AMERICAN on higher pressure or temperature requirements.
**Bolt torque applicable only to flanged joints with Toruseal® gaskets.
Clean flange faces and faced pipe ends thoroughly prior to installation. Do not use joint or gasket compounds with Toruseal® gaskets
(assemble joints dry).
For use with standard flange bolts. Holes match AWWA C110, C111, and C115 flange drilling. They also match certain flange drilling classes of AWWA
C207 and ANSI B16.1 and B16.42 flanges.
Toruseal® gaskets may be used with steel pipe flanges in the 14”–54” sizes in some cases. Check AMERICAN for details, or when connecting to any flange
configured differently than flanges per AWWA C110 or C115.

*Pressure rating designated is maximum water working pressure. Contact AMERICAN on higher pressure
requirements.
**Check AMERICAN if longer or shorter lengths required.
†This rating is only applicable to flanged joints utilizing AMERICAN Toruseal® gaskets as per page 8–3.
Pipe is available with greater wall thickness than shown. Thicknesses above correspond to Special Class 53 for
4”–54” diameters, and Pressure Class 350 for 60” and 64” diameters as shown in AWWA C151.
Any length between minimum and maximum shown can be furnished.
Tolerance on length is ±0.25 in.
Where required, specify flanges “Tap for Studs.”
The bolt circle and bolt holes of AWWA C115 flanges, AWWA C110 flanges and ANSI B16.1 Class 125 flanges are
identical, and these flanges can be joined. AWWA C115 and AWWA C110 flanges are rated for 250–350 psi water working
pressure depending on size and specified gasketing system.
