Reducing Slip-On Flange

Reducing Slip-On Flange

Reducing Slip-On Flange

(OP)
Does anyone know a supplier of slip-on reducing flanges or have they been completely discontinued?  I have need of a 6"-600# slip-on flange with a hub for a 2" pipe.  I have found old descriptions and how to order but as yet no supplier.

RE: Reducing Slip-On Flange

This goes to show that no one knows about every sort of fitting.  I have never heard of a "reducing slip-on flange".  I have both Ladish and Tube Turns catalogs and neither one carry it.  In fact, their reducing flanges look a lot like a blind flange that has been pierced and threaded.  I've done the same thing many times by putting a Weld-O-Let or a Thread-O-Let in a blind flange.  I suppose for pipe made up with socket welds you could let a socket collar into a blind flange the same way.

I found the flange and order description in the old Ladish Fitting Catalog No. 55 on pages 156 & 157.  It is exactly what I'm looking for.  (2"x14"-600lb. Slip-On Reducing Flange Part No. R-61)  I realise I can have them fabricated from blinds, weld bosses and reinforcing plate, but I am trying to eliminate the fabrication even if it means that the supplier would have to do it.  I am passing a 2" siphon pipe through a 6" pipe sleeve into a 36" pipe header.

Thanks,

It sounds like you're building something similar to an injection quill.  I would just look up a local supplier of injection quills.  Tell them what you want and they will build it for you and get whatever registration is required in your local jurisdiction.
