International
Adapter Flange
Series
The design of the Uni-Flange Adapter is really
quite simple. We took the best features of three
different products and combined them into one
fitting.

tECHNICAL dATA

• FLANGE

Manufactured from ductile iron in accordance with

ASTM A536. Drilling and O.D. in accordance with AS
2129/AS4087. Pipe O.D.’s shown in tables are to the
following standards. Steel - AS 1074, B 36.10. Iron - AS
2280.

• GASKET

Standard gasket supplied with the Uni-flange

Adapter Flange is SBR (Buna-S). Suitable for water • AVAILABILITY
and wastewater, and most moderate chemicals. Normally available ex stock : DI Pipe - 80mm to
Temperature range - 54o to 70oC. Other gaskets 600mm, Steel Pipe -50mm to 500mm.
available include: EPDM, CR, NBR.
Specials and larger sizes are also available .
• SET SCREW
• RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM WORKING & TEST
Manufactured from - Steel (AISI 4137) , zinc plated, or PRESSURES
Stainless Steel (AISI 410 or AISI 431). Heat treated to
Rockwell C 35 - 44.
