Description
This premium PVCu full face flange is designed for secure, reliable joining of PVCu pipework in water handling systems. Drilled to BS4504 NP10/16, it provides a robust bolted connection with a plain metric socket for straightforward solvent-weld assembly to matching pipe sizes.
Ideal for use in water distribution, treatment, irrigation and general industrial water applications, this flange offers excellent chemical resistance, long service life and low maintenance. Available in a range of metric sizes, it is well suited to both new installations and upgrades to existing PVCu pipe systems.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality PVCu for durability and corrosion resistance in water applications.
- Full face flange design drilled to BS4504 NP10/16 for compatible bolting and gasket alignment.
- Plain metric socket end for solvent-weld connection to PVCu pipework.
- Available in common metric sizes including 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm and 50mm, plus additional larger diameters.
- Suitable for use at PN10 and PN16 pressure ratings when installed to the relevant system design.
- Smooth internal bore to minimise pressure loss and maintain good flow characteristics.
- Compatible with standard PVCu pipe and fittings used in water distribution and treatment systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Ensures a strong, leak-resistant flanged joint when used with appropriate gaskets and fasteners.
- Simple installation using solvent cement for a secure, permanent connection to PVCu pipe.
- Excellent resistance to corrosion and many chemicals commonly found in water treatment processes.
- Lightweight construction compared to metal flanges, making handling and installation easier on site.
- Low maintenance solution with long service life, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Standardised drilling pattern to BS4504 NP10/16 for easy integration with existing flanged equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this flange be used with hot water systems?
This PVCu flange is generally intended for cold water and mildly elevated temperature applications within the limits specified for PVCu systems. For continuous hot water or high-temperature service, consult the system design guidelines and consider alternative materials if necessary.
Do I need a gasket with this full face flange?
Yes, a suitable gasket should be used between mating flanges to achieve a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Ensure the gasket material is compatible with water and any chemicals present in the system, and that the bolt torque is applied evenly to the BS4504 drilling pattern.
How do I choose the correct size flange for my pipe?
Select the flange with a plain metric socket size that matches the outside diameter and specification of your PVCu pipe (for example 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm or 50mm). The socket is designed for solvent-weld connection, so the pipe and flange must be compatible in size and material.
