Soval 885-060 Forged Steel Weld Flange 6 Inch

Product Description

The SOVAL 885-060 is a 6-inch forged steel weld flange designed for demanding flow control applications across plumbing, irrigation, industrial, and agricultural systems. Forged steel construction provides high mechanical strength and resistance to pressure and impact loads that cast fittings cannot match. This flange is welded directly to pipe ends to create a permanent, leak-resistant joint suitable for both above-ground and buried installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.

The 885-060 is suited for waterworks and fluid distribution projects where a reliable flanged connection is required. Typical applications include municipal water lines, agricultural irrigation headers, industrial process piping, and commercial plumbing systems. The 6-inch size makes it appropriate for main-line service and larger distribution runs where high flow capacity and joint integrity are critical. No compatibility data beyond the listed specifications was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation of this weld flange requires a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber using appropriate welding equipment and procedures. Shut down and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting in or removing any existing fittings. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, or local plumbing code requirements for welded steel pipe joints. Inspect the weld bead and flange face for defects before pressurizing the system.
