Why this flange stands out
The malleable iron construction balances strength with ductility, offering robust support for pipe runs while resisting deformation under vibration or minor impacts. The black finish adds a protective layer against surface corrosion and hides wear, maintaining a clean, professional appearance over time. With lead-free materials, this flange aligns with safety considerations for many installations, including domestic environments where metal content matters. The 1/4" FIP threading ensures compatibility with standard 1/4" pipe fittings, simplifying your assembly and reducing the need for adapters.
Ideal use cases
- Securing small-diameter pipe runs to concrete, wooden, or metal floors in residential basements or utility rooms.
- Mounting standpipes, drainage lines, or supply lines that require a low-profile, sturdy floor connection.
- Projects where a durable, corrosion-resistant anchor is needed in damp or high-traffic environments.
Practical installation tips
Prepare the pipe threads with standard PTFE tape or pipe joint compound and tighten to the manufacturer’s specifications. Secure the flange to the floor with appropriate fasteners for your substrate material, ensuring a stable, leak-resistant connection. Because this flange uses 1/4" FIP threads, pair it with compatible 1/4" piping fittings to complete a reliable, serviceable connection.
Care and longevity
Wipe away moisture and inspect periodically for signs of wear or corrosion. The combination of malleable iron and a protective black finish helps extend service life in challenging environments, keeping your piping project looking and performing its best for years to come.
