C-PVC Flanges & Gaskets FAQ

Below you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive about our C-PVC flanges and gaskets collection. If you need further guidance, our technical team is always happy to help you find the right solution for your application.

What types of C-PVC flanges and gaskets do you stock?

We carry a comprehensive range of C-PVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) flanges and compatible gaskets in various sizes and pressure ratings. This includes full-face flanges, stub flanges, backing rings, and gaskets designed specifically for C-PVC pipework systems. If you need a particular specification that isn't listed, get in touch and we'll source it for you.

What applications are C-PVC flanges and gaskets suitable for?

C-PVC flanges and gaskets are widely used in chemical processing, water treatment, industrial manufacturing, and hot-water distribution systems. They offer excellent resistance to corrosion and can handle higher temperatures than standard PVC, making them a reliable choice for demanding fluid-handling environments.

What temperature and pressure ratings do your C-PVC flanges support?

C-PVC flanges typically handle continuous operating temperatures up to around 80°C, though exact ratings depend on the specific product, size, and manufacturer. Each product listing includes its rated pressure and temperature range, so please check the individual specifications or contact our team for guidance on your particular application.

How do I choose the correct gasket for a C-PVC flange connection?

The gasket material must be chemically compatible with the media being conveyed and rated for the system's temperature and pressure. For C-PVC systems, EPDM and FPM (Viton) gaskets are common choices. Our technical team can advise on the best gasket material and profile for your specific process conditions.

Can C-PVC flanges be connected to metal or other plastic flanges?

Yes, C-PVC flanges can be bolted to compatible metal or other plastic flanges provided the bolt pattern and pressure rating match. A suitable gasket should always be used between dissimilar flange materials to ensure a proper seal. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact us and we'll help you confirm the right combination.

Do you offer technical support to help me specify the right products?

Absolutely. Our team has hands-on experience with industrial pipeline systems and can help you select the correct flanges, gaskets, and associated components for your project. Just call us or send an enquiry with your application details, and we'll provide a tailored recommendation.

What sizes are available in your C-PVC flanges and gaskets range?

Our C-PVC flanges and gaskets are available across a wide range of nominal bore sizes to suit most industrial pipework configurations. Specific sizes are listed on each product page. If you need a size that isn't currently shown, please get in touch as we can often source it through our manufacturer partnerships.
