Forged flange that slides over the pipe and is fillet welded, easier to align than a weld neck flange.

**In short:** Forged flange that slides over the pipe and is fillet welded, easier to align than a weld neck flange. JJ Projects sources it to the specification the buyer names. Typical reference, standards: ASME B16.5.

## Specification references

- Standards: ASME B16.5
- Materials: ASTM A105, A182 (alloy and stainless)
- Face: Raised face or flat face
- Class: As specified in ASME B16.5 for the size

> Typical references only. The governing specification is the one on your purchase order or datasheet.

## Typical uses

- Water, air, cooling and other utility piping
- Low and moderate pressure process lines where the piping specification permits slip-on flanges
- Joints where easy alignment matters during fit-up
- Connections to flat-face equipment flanges, using flat-face slip-ons

## What to include in a request

A request with these details can be quoted without a round of questions. Send what you have and we will ask for the rest.

1. NPS and pressure class under ASME B16.5
2. Facing: raised face or flat face
3. Material and grade, for example ASTM A105 or A182 F304L
4. Pipe outside diameter or NPS, since the bore is larger than the pipe it slides over
5. Quantity
6. Documents: material test report and any marking requirement
7. Confirm the piping specification allows slip-on flanges for the service

## Questions

### Can slip-on flanges be used in any service?

Not always. Many piping specifications restrict slip-on flanges by pressure class, temperature or fluid, and prefer weld neck flanges for severe, cyclic or hazardous service. Check your piping class before ordering.

### How is a slip-on flange welded to the pipe?

The pipe is inserted into the flange and joined with fillet welds, normally at the hub and at the face side as the welding procedure requires. Weld details belong to your fabrication procedure, not to the flange order.
