Plumb Pak Metal Shallow Flange is a durable, space-conscious plumbing fitting designed for tight-installation scenarios where every inch counts. Crafted in sturdy metal, this shallow flange sits flush against surfaces to deliver a clean, professional finish in sinks, drains, and other low-clearance applications. Its hinged design makes installation smoother, letting you position and secure the flange with confidence even in cramped spaces.
Why choose this shallow flange? It combines purposeful engineering with practical, real-world benefits:

-
Hinged style eases alignment and placement, helping you slip the flange into position and secure it without contortion or guesswork.
-
Fixed sizing with a 1-1/4 inch diameter and a 3-3/4 inch width profile makes it a precise fit for standard plumbing setups while keeping the installation neat and efficient.
-
Retail-ready packaging comes in carded packaging, simplifying on-shelf display and ensuring you have a ready, organized supply for maintenances or upgrades.
- —Plumb Pak is a recognized name in plumbing fittings, offering consistent quality and compatibility with a wide range of common components.
Ideal use cases
This metal shallow flange is well suited for installations where space is at a premium, such as:
- Bathroom sink or vanity drain configurations with limited backroom clearance
- Retrofits or replacements where a slim profile reduces interference with surrounding hardware
- Rear-mounted drain assemblies in utility or laundry sinks that require a compact finish
How it helps you work smarter
Compared with bulkier or non-hinged alternatives, the Plumb Pak shallow flange streamlines setup, reduces the risk of misalignment, and provides a tidy, professional look. It’s designed to work with standard 1-1/4" piping configurations, helping you achieve a secure, leak-resistant seal with less fuss.
Tips for installation and use
- Confirm your pipe diameter is 1-1/4" to ensure a proper fit with the flange’s size.
- Use the hinged feature to position the flange accurately before tightening connections, then secure with the appropriate fasteners or fittings as required by your system.
- Keep the area clean and free of debris before installation to prevent an uneven seal.
- Pair with compatible gaskets or seals as specified by your broader drain assembly to maintain a watertight finish.
