Retain Ring - Flange Connection Procedure
The retain ring flange connection consists of machined pipe, retain ring flanges, retain rings, ‘o’ ring seal retainer and bolting hardware.
Step 1: Pipe supplied with butt end machined
along with an annular groove on the outside
diameter.
|
Step 2: Slip flange onto the pipe.
|
Step 3: Retain ring is sprung over the pipe’s
outside diameter nesting in the annular groove.
|
Step 4: Select the correct 'o' ring seal retainer
style (reference pages C4 -C5). The 'o' ring
provides a seal against the butt end of the pipe.
|
Step 5: Select the required bolting hardware
from Section R of this catalogue. Carefully
place the ‘o’ ring seal retainer in between the
pipe ends. Slide the flanges forward and the
‘o’ ring seal retainer becomes captive within
the flanges.
|
Step 6: Tighten bolts to the torque values
specified. Always tighten bolts in a cross-over
sequence and ensure that the flanges are
parallel.
