Flange Connections & Fittings

The valve housings can be specified with a welded-on connection fitting.The seal which may be included corresponds to the sealing material of the valve.

VARIVENT® Flange Connections

VARIVENT® Flange Connection TK

VARIVENT® Flange Connection TK

An O-ring is used for sealing the VARIVENT® flange connection, and is given a defined compression by a metal stop. The O-ring is also protected by the special geometry of the recess from being pulled out at high flow rates.

The VARIVENT® flange connection (TK) can be ordered either as a complete connection including bolts and nuts (TK) or a groove flange (TN)/smooth flange (TF) as a connection fitting on a vertical port. If a complete connection is ordered as the connection fitting, the groove flange is welded onto the housing. The groove flange (TN) contains not only the O-Ring but also the required connecting elements.

Pipe Fitting Acc. to DIN 11851

Complete Connection GK

Complete Connection GK

A sealing ring G is used for sealing the pipe fitting acc. to DIN 11851.If a complete connection is ordered on a housing pipe end, the male end is welded onto the housing. The groove flange contains the sealing ring G. The liner (KO) contains the groove nut. The pipe fitting acc. to DIN 11851 can be ordered either as a complete connection (GK) or male end SC (GO)/liner SD (KO) as a connection fitting on a vertical port.

Hygienic Flange Connection Acc. to DIN 11853-2

Hygienic Flange Connection ASK

Hygienic Flange Connection ASK

An O-ring is used for sealing the hygienic flange connection acc. to DIN 11853-2, and is given a defined compression by a metal stop. The O-ring is also protected by the special geometry of the recess from being pulled out at high flow rates,

Furthermore, the flange connection is centered by the design shape. The sealing geometry of the hygienic flange connection corresponds to the aseptic flange connection acc. to DIN 11864-2.

The hygienic flange connection (ASK) can be ordered either as a complete connection including bolts and nuts (ASK) or a hygienic groove flange (NFK)/hygienic flange (BFK) as a connection fitting on a vertical port. If a complete connection is ordered on a housing vertical port, the groove flange is welded onto the housing. The groove flange (NFK) contains not only the O-Ring but also the required connecting elements.

Clamp Connection (Tri-Clamp)

Clamp Connection CO

Clamp Connection CO

The clamp connection acc. to DIN 32676 is a widely used connection fitting, especially in North America. The connection uses a symmetrically structured clamp connection with a seal located in between it, and is secured by a clamp. The second clamp connection, the seal and the clamp are not supplied.
