Features:
V-groove
The PP-V backing flange has a patent pending V-shaped groove in the inner diameter. This groove ensures that force is distributed evenly on the flange adapter when mounting
so that the flange can‘t tilt. This plastic-oriented design prevents the piping components in a flange connection from creeping, as is often the case in connection with steel flanges.
The V-groove also maintains a longer lasting torque on the collar.
What this means for you is a better flange connection.
Light Weight
Use the hefty advantages of the PP-V backing flange to your benefit!
Thanks to its clever design, the V-flange only weighs a third of a regular flange (e.g. with steel core).
Transport costs can be cut in half. This saves you money and protects the environment as well (ISO14001)!
Application areas
The PP-V backing flange can be used at ambient temperatures of up to 80 °C. The temperature of the medium is restricted by the material of the plastic piping system, i.e. PVC-U, PVC-C,
ABS, PP-H or PE100. For systems which require steam sterilization (up to 135°C), for example PVDF, the ambient
temperature should not exceed 40 °C.
The PP-V backing flange is stabilised against ultra violet radiation for extended service life, especially when installed outdoors.
Resistance to corrosion
The innovative design in fiber glass reinforced polypropylene homopolymer
provides you with the reassurance of a very broad range of chemical resistance in your plastic piping system for aggressive media. The hydrolysis resistance – another advantage
of the V-flange– makes it possible for you to build this flange into applications for which the traditional polyester flange would be unsuitable.
Free of joining seams, the PP-V demonstrates very little internal stress. Therefore, the risk of stress cracking corrosion is much reduced.
You can depend on the V-flange in every situation!
