Flange Pvc ( Spears)

Flange Spears

Molded CLASS 150 Flange fittings are coupling devices designed for joining IPS (Iron Pipe Size) plastic piping systems, where frequent disassembly may be required, and can be used as a transitional fitting for joining plastic to metal piping systems. Suitability of application is at the discretion of the user.

Pressure Rating

150 psi, water at 73°F.
