Merit Brass XB235-12 Companion Pipe Flange 3/4 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB235-12 is a Class 125 companion pipe flange manufactured from brass with a chrome-plated finish. It is designed to mate two flanged pipe sections or connect a flanged fitting to a pipe end in plumbing and low-pressure fluid systems. The flange fits 3/4-inch pipe and measures 3-7/8 inches in outside diameter with a hub length of 5/8 inches. Four bolt holes, each 5/8 inches in diameter, are spaced on 2-3/4-inch bolt-hole centers. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component in domestic water, hydronic heating, and general commercial piping applications.

This companion flange is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a clean, finished appearance is required. The chrome-plated brass construction makes it appropriate for exposed piping runs, fixture connections, and decorative or semi-exposed applications. It is installed in pairs with a mating flange, gasket, and appropriate fasteners to create a bolted flanged joint on 3/4-inch pipe lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning flange installation. Use an appropriate flat-face or ring gasket between mating flanges and tighten bolts evenly in a cross pattern to ensure a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten, as this can distort the flange face or compromise the gasket.
