Merit Brass XB235-32 Companion Pipe Flange 2 Inch Brass

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB235-32 is a Class 125 companion pipe flange machined from brass with a chrome-plated finish. It is designed to mate with a matching flange on piping systems where a bolted, face-to-face connection is required. The flange accommodates 2-inch pipe, measures 6 inches in outer diameter, and features a 1-inch hub length. Four bolt holes are evenly spaced at 4-3/4 inches across bolt hole centers, with each bolt hole measuring 3/4 inch in diameter. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and is suitable for exposed or visible installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and residential piping systems.

This companion flange is used in plumbing, water distribution, and light industrial piping applications where a flanged connection is specified on 2-inch pipe runs. The chrome-plated brass construction makes it well-suited for installations where aesthetics matter alongside function, such as visible mechanical rooms, decorative plumbing, or service connections requiring routine disassembly. It bolts to any standard Class 125 companion or raised-face flange with a matching bolt pattern.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing flange connections. Use appropriate flange gaskets and fasteners rated for the system pressure and fluid type. Do not overtighten bolts unevenly — follow a cross-pattern tightening sequence to achieve a uniform, leak-free seal.
