Is there an HDPE flange that bolts to an ANSI CS flange?

I can't get a straight answer out of anybody.  Is there an HDPE flange or adapter that will bolt to a regular ANSI flange?  Just trying to connect an HDPE gathering line lateral to an existing CS header and I'd just like to use a flange.  What's so hard about that?  Maybe it's just me... maybe it's us, maybe it's them, maybe it's Maybelline.  Thanks!  Pete

RE: Is there an HDPE flange that bolts to an ANSI CS flange?

You could use:
-HDPE gathering line: HDPE adaptor (stub end) and cs ANSI free flange (lap joint);
-cs header: CS regular ANSI flange.
In this way nuts work on two cs flanges instead of a HDPE flange and a cs flange; for this reason facing of the mating cs flange (header side) can be both RF and FF.
