Overview
Product overview
Our Backing Ring Flanges, compliant with ANSI B16.5 standards, provide robust support and reinforcement for Stub Ends in piping systems.
Understanding Backing Ring Flanges
Backing Ring Flanges serve as essential components in piping systems, offering support and reinforcement for Stub Ends. Crafted from high-quality Ductile Iron, these flanges are designed to fit over the outside diameter of Stub Ends, providing structural integrity and stability to the pipeline.
Characteristics
What defines the range
- Our Backing Ring Flanges boast dimensions similar to standard flanges, with evenly spaced bolt holes around the circumference.
- The slightly larger inside diameter accommodates the Stub End, allowing for a secure fit and ensuring proper alignment within the piping system.
