Description
Full face socket flange 63mm – 5 per bag is used to create a seal at the end of a length of U-PVC pipe of the same diameter. With the use of a stub or full face flange with two backing rings, a stub gasket and fastener set.
Most important an imperial PVC pressure pipe will glue into the socket on this fitting for a permanent fix. So that the pipe will only go as far as the stop on the inside.
This full face socket flange 63mm – 5 per bag is designed to be used in conjunction. With full face gaskets and bolts. It can be bolted onto another flange which has the same PN10/16 drilling. It will not connect to a flange with a different Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD).
That means that the gasket used with the FF flange has full contact with the whole surface. Where two flanges are mated. The gaskets for FF flanges are typically made from non-metallic materials like Viton (a brand of fluoroelastomer) or EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer). It’s uncommon for them to be metallic.
What is a full face flange?
Firstly the difference between a raised face and a flat face flange is that the raised face has a raised area that surrounds the pipe bore and the flat face flange doesn’t. In conclusion these are two of the most commonly used types of flange faces.
They can both be sealed with one of two different types of gaskets, the ring type and the full-face gasket. This post will provide some details on the raised face flange, the flat face flange, and the two types of gaskets used with them.
