Lap Joint Flange

A lap joint flange is a specialized pipe flange comprising two main components: a stub end and a backing flange, designed for easy assembly and disassembly, and typically employed in applications requiring frequent access to the piping system. A lap joint flange is unique in its design and application compared to other flange types. It is very similar to a slip-on flange, with the main difference being that it has a curved radius at the bore and face to house a lap joint stub-end. Lap joint flanges and stub-end assemblies are typically used in situations where requires frequent dismantling for examination.
