Product Features
KLAMFLEX Ranger Flange Adaptors are designed to join pipe of various outside diameters with flanged equipment of various drilling tables.
Because of the wide range tolerance on OD a single KLAMGLEX Ranger Flange Adaptor can connect steel, ductile iron, UPVC, cast iron, asbestos cement and other rigid pipe materials to the mating flange. This eliminates on site guesswork and stock range holdings are optimized.
Molded, circumferentially ribbed or specially profiled gaskets, generally in EPDM or NBR materials, provided for smooth installation by minimizing contact friction, KLAMFLEX Ranger Flange Adaptor Gaskets are designed to provide a leak tight seal across the OD range per nominal size and still allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe up to 5mm per gasket, facilitated through gasket deformation.
To facilitate installation and avoid possible creep under rising load, it is strongly recommended that the KLAMFLEX Ranger Flange Adaptor Rubber Sealing Gaskets are well lubricated with a suitable non-toxic soap solution before the introduction of the pipe.
This practice should obviate the need for re-tightening the fasteners after pressure testing, and further facilitate the seating of the joint components, KLAMFLEX Ranger Flange Adaptors can be manufactured with full sleeves to prevent end pull-out on PE, HDPE and GRP pipes.
