A plastic tailpiece flange is a plumbing fitting that connects a tailpiece (a short section of pipe) to the sink drain or another fitting, providing a secure and leak-proof connection. This flange is often used in sink installations, allowing for easy attachment of the sink drain to the plumbing system.
Key Features of Plastic Tailpiece Flanges:
Material:
Made from durable plastic materials, commonly PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or PP (Polypropylene), which are resistant to corrosion and suitable for various applications.
Plastic construction ensures a lightweight design, making it easier to handle and install.
Design:
The flange typically features a flat, circular shape with a central hole for connecting to the tailpiece and additional holes for securing it to the sink or other mounting surfaces.
The flange may have a beveled edge to help create a watertight seal when attached to the sink or drain.
Applications:
Commonly used in kitchen and bathroom sink installations to connect the sink drain to the plumbing system.
Employed in commercial applications where quick and reliable drainage connections are necessary.
A plastic close flange is a type of fitting used in piping systems to seal the end of a pipe or a pipeline. It provides a flat surface for joining two sections of pipe or capping off an unused pipe end. These flanges are commonly made from various plastic materials and are designed to offer a secure and leak-proof seal.
Key Features of Plastic Close Flanges:
Material:
Typically made from durable plastics such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PP (Polypropylene), or PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride).
Plastic materials provide excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV exposure.
Design:
Close flanges have a flat, circular design with a central hole for the pipe, allowing them to be bolted to the pipe or another fitting securely.
They usually feature a smooth surface to ensure a tight seal when connected to a corresponding flange.
Applications:
Commonly used in drainage systems, water supply, and chemical processing applications where a secure seal is required.
A plastic threaded flange is a type of fitting used to connect pipes, valves, or other equipment in piping systems. This fitting features a flat, circular plate with holes for screws or bolts, allowing it to be mounted securely to another surface or fitting. The "threaded" aspect refers to the internal threads that allow it to connect directly to the external threads of another pipe or fitting.
Key Features of Plastic Threaded Flanges:
Material:
Typically made from durable plastics such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), or PP (Polypropylene).
These materials are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV rays, making them suitable for various applications.
Design:
Features a flat, circular shape with threaded openings in the center for connecting to other threaded pipes or fittings.
The outer perimeter has multiple holes for mounting or securing the flange to a surface with screws or bolts.
Available in different sizes to accommodate various pipe diameters.
