Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 854-060FT Flange Loose Ring, 6″ Slip

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 854‑060FT Flange Loose Ring, 6″ Slip, is a professional‑grade PVC component designed to deliver a durable, reliable, and versatile flange connection for 6‑inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems. Whether you’re installing pumps, valves, bulkheads, or other mechanical equipment, this flange loose ring provides a secure interface that simplifies assembly, maintenance, and system configuration in pool and spa plumbing, irrigation networks, industrial fluid systems, and commercial water applications.

Manufactured from high‑quality corrosion‑resistant PVC, the flange loose ring is built to withstand environmental exposure, chemical contact, and long‑term water immersion without rusting, scaling, or deteriorating — a major advantage over metal flanges in many fluid handling systems. PVC’s inherent resistance to corrosion and chemical attack makes the 854‑060FT suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, including those exposed to sunlight, chlorinated water, or wetter climates.

The 6‑inch slip connection is designed to be solvent‑welded directly onto standard 6″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe using PVC primer and cement. Once solvent‑welded, this forms a permanent, watertight bond that integrates the flange’s body into the piping system’s structure. The flange’s “loose ring” style means the ring with bolt holes is not permanently fixed to the pipe socket — allowing installers to position and align the flange ring independently before securing it with bolts and gaskets.

The loose ring pairs with industry‑standard bolt patterns and gaskets, creating a strong mating surface to attach pumps, valves, strainers, backflow preventers, or other flanged components. Using a gasket and bolts, the flange assembly achieves a secure, leak‑resistant seal that can be easily disassembled for routine service, inspection, or seasonal system changes.

Installation is straightforward and efficient. After solvent‑welding the slip end to the PVC pipe, the installer positions the loose ring flange in the proper orientation, inserts the gasket between mating flanges, and secures the assembly with bolts. This method provides ample flexibility on the job site and allows final adjustments before tightening, reducing the risk of misalignment and stress on seals or hardware. The lightweight PVC construction also makes handling and placement easier compared with heavier metal flanges, speeding up installation and improving safety.

The Westlake 854‑060FT Flange Loose Ring is widely used in multiple industries and applications. In pool and spa plumbing, it provides a dependable connection for pumps, heaters, filters, and automatic valves. In irrigation systems, it allows for easy integration of large‑diameter control valves, flow meters, or manifold outlets.
