Merit Brass XB235-08 Companion Pipe Flange 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB235-08 is a Class 125 companion pipe flange machined from brass with a chrome-plated finish. It is designed for 1/2 inch pipe and features a 3-1/2 inch outer diameter with a 5/8 inch hub length. Four bolt holes at 5/8 inch diameter are centered on a 2-3/8 inch bolt circle, providing a secure, leak-resistant connection at pipe termination points. The chrome plating resists corrosion and suits exposed installations where appearance matters. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this flange in water supply, low-pressure distribution, and similar piping systems.

This flange is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a companion flange connection is required at fixtures, valves, or equipment tie-ins. Its Class 125 pressure rating fits standard low-pressure water service. The chrome-plated brass construction makes it a common choice for above-floor or visible installations such as supply risers and exposed piping runs where a finished appearance is expected.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing flange or beginning installation. Inspect mating flange faces and gasket surfaces for damage before assembly. Do not overtighten fasteners, as brass flanges can be damaged by excessive torque.
