What Is a Type A Stub End?
Designed for Lap Joint Flanges
Type A stub ends are used in conjunction with lap joint flanges, allowing the flange to rotate freely around the fitting for easier bolt-hole alignment during installation.
Smooth Flow Characteristics
The butt weld connection creates a smooth internal bore that helps minimize turbulence and pressure loss within the piping system.
Cost-Effective Flanged Connections
By using a stainless steel stub end with a backing flange, users can reduce installation time and simplify future maintenance requirements.
