Soval 854-030 Pvc Sch 80 Van Stone Flange 3 Inch Socket

Product Description

The SOVAL 854-030 is a Class 150, Schedule 80 PVC Van Stone swivel flange designed for 3-inch socket connections compatible with 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe. The swivel design features a glass-reinforced backing ring that allows the flange face to rotate independently, making bolt-hole alignment fast and straightforward during installation. Built from Schedule 80 PVC, this flange delivers the wall thickness and pressure rating required for demanding industrial and chemical handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a removable, bolted flange joint is needed in a PVC piping system.

This flange is suited for residential and commercial PVC piping systems where flanged connections to valves, strainers, pumps, and other flanged components are required. The socket end accepts 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe, allowing a solvent-cement joint that meets standard installation practices. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, water treatment systems, pool and spa mechanical rooms, and irrigation distribution headers where corrosion resistance and ease of disassembly are priorities.

Key Features

• Van Stone swivel design allows flange face rotation for easy bolt-hole alignment without rotating pipe
• Glass-reinforced backing ring provides structural rigidity at the flange face
• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure capability
• Class 150 pressure rating consistent with standard flanged valve and fitting connections
• 3-inch socket end accepts 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining
• Compatible with GK1 (Buna-N/NBR), GK2 (EPDM), and GK3 (Viton/FKM) series flange gaskets

Compatibility

Compatible with GK1 (Buna-N/NBR), GK2 (EPDM), and GK3 (Viton/FKM) series flange gaskets. Designed for use with standard Class 150 flanged valves, fittings, and equipment on 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires solvent cementing the socket end to 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe following IPC-approved procedures, including proper primer application and cure time before pressurizing the system. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use appropriate PVC-rated solvent cement and primer for Schedule 80 applications. Gasket selection should match the chemical compatibility requirements of the media being handled.
