Our Van Stone flanges are designed by overlapping the “neck” or tangent of the bellows over the flange face. This allows the flange to rotate before the bolts are tightened, ensuring perfect alignment even when piping shifts during installation.

Ease of Alignment: The flange’s ability to rotate simplifies bolt hole alignment, saving valuable time during installation.
β
Maintenance-Friendly: Van Stone flanges allow for quick disassembly and reassembly, making inspections and maintenance a breeze.
β
Cost-Effective: These flanges are not permanently attached, so they can be reused, offering a more sustainable and cost-efficient solution.

The bellows serves as the wetted surface, while the flange remains protected from the media. This allows us to pair durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel bellows with more economical carbon steel flanges, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Remember that the Van Stone surface creates a raised face with a smooth, non-serrated finishβmake sure to select the appropriate gasket for optimal sealing.
