Merit Brass 435-48 Threaded Pipe Flange 3 in 150 Psi Ss 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 435-48 is a threaded pipe flange designed for 3-inch pipe with a 7.5-inch outside diameter. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and rated to 150 psi, this flange meets ANSI B16.5 standards for dimensional accuracy and pressure-temperature ratings. It features a circular body with four bolt holes, bolt hole centers spaced 6 inches across, and individual bolt holes measuring 0.75 inches. At 6.7 pounds, it carries enough mass for a solid, corrosion-resistant connection in demanding fluid system applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for flanged connections of this type.

This flange is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial piping, and process systems where a threaded end connection and corrosion resistance are required. The Grade 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for water, mild chemical, and general-service fluid handling systems. The threaded connection eliminates the need for welding at the flange joint, simplifying field installation and future serviceability. It is sold individually and conforms to ANSI B16.5 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with flanged piping systems. Isolate and depressurize the line before beginning any flange work. Verify gasket material compatibility with the system fluid before assembly. Follow applicable IPC and ANSI B16.5 guidelines for bolt torque sequence and gasket seating.
