Merit Brass XNL235-08 Companion Pipe Flange 1/2 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL235-08 is a Class 150 companion pipe flange machined from brass with a chrome-plated finish. It is designed for 1/2 inch pipe with an outer diameter of 3.5 inches and a hub length of 1-3/16 inches. The flange features four bolt holes at 5/8 inch diameter, centered on a 2-3/8 inch bolt circle. Rated at Class 150, this fitting is suited for low-pressure plumbing and piping systems where a clean, corrosion-resistant chrome appearance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of flange in both exposed and semi-exposed applications.

This companion flange is used in residential and light commercial plumbing piping assemblies where flanged connections are required at valves, pumps, or pipe terminations. The chrome-plated finish makes it appropriate for visible installations such as supply lines, mechanical room piping, and decorative plumbing fixtures. The four-hole bolt pattern at Class 150 conforms to standard low-pressure flanged connection requirements. It is lead free, meeting applicable potable water and plumbing code compliance requirements for installations subject to lead-free mandates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any flanged fitting. Inspect the mating flange face and gasket seating surface before assembly. Do not overtighten bolts unevenly; use a cross-pattern sequence to ensure uniform gasket compression.
