Product Description
Schedule 80 Van Stone Flange
Fusion Qld offers a complete range of PVC pipe and fittings including the Schedule 80 Van Stone Flange. Our range of Schedule 80 PVC are made to ASTM D1784 standard guidelines. Schedule 80 pipe has a maximum operating temperature of 60⁰C (140⁰F). Schedule 80 PVC is dark grey in colour and is more corrosion resistant and durable than other PVC products, making it suitable for chemical applications; such as factories, wastewater and chemical processing plants. Our range of Schedule 80 pipe and fittings is available from both Queensland and Melbourne locations.
A pipe’s ‘schedule’ refers to its wall thickness. PVC pipe is categorized by size and schedule; the larger the schedule, the thicker the walls. Thicker walls allow for higher pressure applications. All PVC pipe has the same outer diameter no matter what the schedule, however larger schedule pipe like schedule 80 PVC, has a more restricted flow than smaller schedule pipe of the same size. In other words, the inside diameter of the pipe is what is different.

Schedule 80 benefits
Schedule 80 has a number of benefits that make it one of the most widely used piping materials in the world. It is a cost effective material and is widely available. PVC is lightweight, is easy to handle and install. Schedule 80 PVC is capable of handling higher pressures than schedule 40 PVC and other types of pipe. PVC, unlike metal, is corrosion resistant and will not rust, that means pipes stay well preserved even after years of liquid handling. PVC does not pit, scale or breakdown when exposed to moisture. One of the greatest benefits of schedule 80 PVC is its resistance to a range of chemicals. It is resistant to most salts, acids, bases, oxidants and more. Always refer to chemical resistance data to be sure PVC will work for your application.
Schedule 80 Van Stone Flange Bolting Procedure
1. Inspect flange faces to ensure that they are clean and undamaged.
2. Check that the correct backing ring and rubber gaskets have been supplied. Fusion Qld supplies a matched system of flanges and backing rings – do not interchange Metric and Imperial components.
3. Loosely assemble flanges. Make sure that flanges and bolt holes align and that the flange faces are parallel hence ensuring the gasket is correctly positioned between the flanges.
4. Size up that the appropriate washer is placed under both bolt heads and nuts.
5. Most importantly tighten the nuts and bolts in a diagonally opposite sequence to secure an even loading around the flange to avoid distortion. Furthermore it is recommended that the nuts and bolts be tightened as uniformly as possible progressively from a finger tight start.
6. Repeat as necessary until tightness of all bolts is achieved.
