ABS Flanges

Effast ABS flanges provide a reliable and high-strength solution for connecting lengths of ABS pipe or integrating key components such as valves, flow meters, and instrumentation. Manufactured from WRAS-approved acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), these fittings are designed for secure and long-lasting performance in water, process, and industrial systems. Available in a wide range of inch sizes, each flange is rigorously type tested for compliance with safety and durability standards.

Installation Overview

Effast ABS flanges are installed as part of flanged joint assemblies using the following components:

Installation Tips:

  • Ensure correct alignment of flanged faces before tightening bolts.
  • Use appropriate torque settings to avoid overstressing the plastic flange.
  • Always use compatible gaskets and clean, debris-free sealing surfaces.
  • Avoid excessive mechanical load or unsupported weight near the flange.
  • For pipe-to-flange connection, solvent-weld the plain-end flange to the ABS pipe using ABS solvent cement, following standard jointing procedures.

Note: Flanged joints should be inspected regularly, especially in high-pressure or critical installations.
