The Steel Pipe Flange and Fittings in Plumbing System

       The steel pipe flange is widely used in the construction industry, but can also be found in a variety of manufacturing and industrial applications. In plumbing system, steel pipe can be used to transport liquids and gases for commercial and residential buildings, as well as in municipal water supplies. A flanged pipe is a type of pipe that has an area on the end that gives it a special function beyond a normal pipe. A flange may be inside or outside the pipe, and it usually allows the pipe to connect to a specific type of system. The flange makes the pipe thicker at the end and may make it wider as well, if the flange is on the outside. The chief reason to use a flanged pipe (steel pipe flange) is to make attaching and removing the pipe from the connected system easier.

       The steel pipe was once the most popular choice for supply of water and flammable gases. It is still used in many homes and businesses to convey natural gas or propane fuel, and is a popular choice in fire sprinkler systems due to its high heat resistance. In commercial buildings, steel pipe is used to convey heating or cooling water to heat exchangers, air handlers, fan coil, variable air volume (VAV) devices, or other HVAC equipment. And the pipe fittings are the occupation of installing or repairing piping or tubing systems that convey liquid, gas, and occasionally solid materials. This work involves selecting and preparing pipe or tubing, joining it together by various means, and the location and repair of leaks.

       Fitters work with a variety of pipe and tubing materials including several types of steel, copper, iron, aluminum, and plastic. Pipe fitting is not plumbing; the two are related but separate trades. Materials, techniques, and usages vary from country to country as different nations have different standards to install pipe.

Pipes and tubes should always be fitted with the right flanges as there is a good deal of difference from product to product.

Pipe fitting and plumbing are related, but definitely require different skill set. Make sure the contractor you hire is qualified to do the work you hire them to do.

This article was very informative for the homeowners who encounter plumbing issues. I just moved to Illinois and I had a leak in my kitchen pipes, so I called a contractor to come check it out. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything he was doing. It is so important to hire a professional who is dependable and reliable. Thanks for sharing!

The shape-on flange pipe is designed precisely for connecting other pipes. I agree @Plumbing Contractor. Seeking professional help is best to have your pipes fitted correctly. There are many types of flange pipes, and an expert can help you decide which type of tube is most appropriate for your system.
