Matco-norca CICFB13 Threaded Metal Companion Flange 6 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA CICFB13 is a 6-inch threaded metal companion flange designed for use in piping systems where a bolted flange connection is required at a threaded pipe end. Companion flanges mate with a corresponding flange to create a secure, leak-resistant joint in fluid or gas distribution lines. The threaded end threads directly onto a male-threaded pipe, while the flat face mates flush against a matching flange. At 16.5 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting suited for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing or mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This companion flange is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where a 6-inch threaded pipe must terminate at a flanged connection point. Typical applications include water supply mains, mechanical room distribution headers, pump inlet and outlet connections, and process piping assemblies. The threaded design allows installation without welding, making it practical in retrofit and service scenarios where heat work is not permitted or practical.

Key Features

• 6-inch threaded end connects directly to male-threaded pipe without welding
• Companion flange design mates with a matching flange for a bolted joint
• Heavy metal construction at 16.5 pounds supports high-demand piping service
• Flat face flange interface provides full-face gasket seating surface
• Threaded entry allows field installation and removal without cutting pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation companion flange for 6-inch threaded pipe systems in commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before installing or removing any flange fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections and verify proper gasket seating before torquing flange bolts. Do not overtighten the threaded connection in a way that could stress or crack the fitting body.
