Midland Industries 108101 Reducing Companion Flange

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 108101 is a reducing companion flange designed to connect piping systems of two different diameters within a single fitting. It transitions from a 12-inch threaded connection to a 2-inch threaded connection, following ASME B1.20.1 thread standards at 2-11-1/2 threads per inch. Built from ductile iron with a black finish, this flange carries a 125 lb pressure class rating and is rated for 150 psi service. It conforms to ASME B16.42 and AWWA C110 dimensional standards, making it appropriate for waterworks and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation of flanges in this size range.

This reducing companion flange is suited for municipal water distribution, industrial process piping, and large-diameter mechanical systems where a size reduction is required at a flanged joint. The threaded connections on both ends eliminate the need for welding at the joint, which can simplify installation in retrofit or repair scenarios. Its ductile iron construction handles the mechanical stress common in buried or exposed industrial piping environments.

Key Features

• Reduces from 12-inch to 2-inch threaded connection in a single companion flange body
• Ductile iron construction for high mechanical strength and impact resistance
• 125 lb pressure class rated for 150 psi service pressure
• Threaded on both connection ends per ASME B1.20.1 with 2-11-1/2 thread form
• Conforms to ASME B16.42 and AWWA C110 dimensional standards
• Black finish for corrosion resistance in typical waterworks and industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reducing companion flange for large-diameter threaded piping systems conforming to ASME B16.42 and AWWA C110 dimensional standards at a 125 lb pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with large-diameter flanged piping systems. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before beginning work. Verify that mating flange faces, gaskets, and bolt patterns are compatible with the 125 lb pressure class before assembly. Consult applicable local plumbing codes and AWWA standards for proper joint assembly torque sequences and gasket specifications.
