Krausz 134-96-08216-16 Flange Adapter 8 Inch

Product Description

The KRAUSZ 134-96-08216-16 is a HYMAX GRIP 1-bolt flange adapter designed for 8-inch pipe connections in pressurized water and wastewater distribution systems. It accepts outside diameters from 8.50 to 9.40 inches and uses EPDM seals rated for service temperatures from -20 degrees F to 125 degrees F. The single-bolt flange design reduces installation time compared to multi-bolt alternatives. This adapter is NSF 61 and NSF 372 certified and conforms to AWWA C219, making it suitable for potable water applications. Water and wastewater utility contractors and pipeline mechanics are the primary installers.

This flange adapter is used in municipal water distribution, wastewater collection, and industrial piping systems where a mechanical flange connection is needed at an 8-inch pipe transition point. The HYMAX GRIP design provides a self-restrained joint, accommodating a range of outside diameters within its 8.50 to 9.40 inch OD range. It is suited for buried and above-grade installations in both new construction and repair applications where a single-bolt flanged connection is specified.

Key Features

• Accepts pipe outside diameters from 8.50 to 9.40 inches
• EPDM seals rated for -20 degrees F to 125 degrees F service temperature
• Single-bolt flange design for faster field installation
• NSF 61 and NSF 372 certified for potable water contact
• Conforms to AWWA C219 standard for sleeve-type couplings and flange adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flange adapter for 8-inch nominal pipe with outside diameters between 8.50 and 9.40 inches in water and wastewater piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, utility contractor, or qualified mechanical tradesperson in accordance with AWWA guidelines and applicable local codes. Depressurize and isolate the pipeline section before fitting the adapter. Inspect the pipe outside diameter to confirm it falls within the 8.50 to 9.40 inch range before torquing the bolt. Follow the manufacturer torque sequence and all applicable trench and confined-space safety requirements for buried installations.
