“A Proven Third Generation Mechanical Joint Restraint”
Clow Canada's 90 Adapter Flange joins plain-end PVC pipe to liquid and process equipment, valves, compressors, etc. It provides a powertight, rigid flanged connection, allowing easy maintenance (simply loosen bolts and remove flange). When the flange halves are brought together by tightening the clamping bolts, these serrations lock the flange onto the pipe. The exclusive dual seal gasket is then added. Tightening the flange bolts compresses the gasket against the facing flange and down onto the pipe surface, providing a leak proof seal. This product is not designed as a restraining device. If this application is required, the use of a Clow Canada Series 300 restrainer is recommended in conjunction with the Series 90 Flange Adapter.

An economical, practical and reliable alternative to welded and screwed systems, Clow canada's Union Flange joins plain-ended pipe to flange-ended equipment, fittings and valves (not recommended for PVC pipe; better alternative is Clow Canada's Series 90 Adapter Flange). On-site installation is simple: a wrench is the only tool required. The Union Flange is a unique solution to the problems which can occur in the use of pre-fabricated flanged piping, such as downtime, reliance on off-site suppliers and inaccurate dimensions. The design of the Union Flange comprises three elements: the flange, the gasket and the set screws. The flange is manufactured from ductile iron, which is stronger than the usual grey iron threaded flange, to avoid breakage upon impact or from overtightening of bolts. The gasket used is the standard mechanical joint gasket, proven reliable in over 40 years of service. A set screw locking device provides the restraint connection to the pipe. This device resembles those used in mechanical joint retainer glands, hundreds of thousands of which are in use worldwide, replacing concrete thrust blocks and other restraining devices.
Clow Canada's Union Flange has been successful in numerous municipal and industrial applications such as fire protection, water and wastewater, and process piping systems.
