What are flange connections?
These are two opposing flanges of steel connected to each other by a minimum of four screws. Tightness is ensured by rubber placed between them. The flanges are welded to the ends of the pipes, allowing them to be joined and the direction of the pipeline to be changed. Flanged joints are used, for example, on water pipes, sewer lines, gas pipes and heat pumps.
