Couplings and Flange Adaptors are crucial parts of a pipe that aids you in connecting pipes of different diameters together. However, before we go into the details of the couplings and the flange, let's talk about the equipment which they actually assist, the pipes. The pipes are the most important equipment in all water supply systems, as they transport gallons of water every day to houses all over the world. Drinking water is a necessity and a basic human right so these pipes need to be functional on a daily basis. Should there be any problem or malfunction with the pipe, a lot of residents in that particular area will have to suffer. Apart from that, there can also be a lot of water loss if a pipe is cracked or collapses.

Thus, proper maintenance of the pipelines is essential and that can only be done via proper accessories. Couplings and Flange Adaptors are accessories that can help in easier and safer installation than traditional welding. Different pipes come in different sizes and different diameters and installing them all together to form a pipeline system can be tough without coupling devices. These devices not only make it easy to join pipes of similar diameter and size but also of different diameters. Flanges, on the other hand, are a device that connects all flanged equipment such as valves, pumps, and other equipment, and comes in a wide variety of pipe sizes and materials. 

Properties of a Coupling

A coupling device is extremely important when it comes to joining pipes of different diameters. They are usually made from the same material as the pipe itself and are thus very robust and non-corrosive. There are different types of coupling devices as well. They can either be welded in or screwed in. Once you weld in a coupling device, they cannot be removed; however, a screwed-in device can easily be removed and reused. They are perfect for any type of pipe, copper, steel, or PVC. While in copper and steel, the couplings can be welded, in PVC, the coupling has to be installed with adhesives. 

Properties of a Flange Adaptor

Flange adapters are used to connect pipes with different outside diameters with flange devices of different drill tables. Due to the wide tolerance range of the outside diameter, a flange adapter can connect steel, ductile iron, cast iron, PVC, fiber cement, and other rigid pipe fittings. The adapters themselves are extremely durable and light since they are made from ductile iron. This makes them easy to install and they are extremely corrosion resistant.
