3" Forged Steel Slip-On Pipe Flange - 150# Raised Face - ANSI/ASME B16.5

VK-FLG-103 - 3" Forged Steel Slip-On Pipe Flange, 150# Raised Face

This 3" forged steel slip-on flange meets ANSI/ASME B16.5 Class 150 standards and features a raised face connection surface. Forged steel construction delivers greater precision, grain structure integrity, and mechanical strength compared to cast flanges, making it suitable for demanding agricultural and commercial piping applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Forged steel construction - Tighter grain structure provides superior strength and fatigue resistance over cast alternatives
• ANSI/ASME B16.5 Class 150 - Meets industry standards for dimensional accuracy and pressure ratings
• Raised face design - Concentrates gasket pressure for a more reliable seal
• Slip-on style - Slides over the pipe for easy alignment and positioning before welding
• 4 bolt holes at 3/4" diameter - Standard bolt pattern for compatibility with mating flanges

Slip-On Flange Advantages

Slip-on flanges are a cost-effective choice for applications where easy alignment and quick installation are priorities. They slide over the pipe end and are fillet-welded on both the inside and outside. This makes them well-suited for water supply, irrigation mainlines, and general commercial piping where moderate pressures and temperatures are involved.
