Where are 2 bolt flanges typically used?
They're commonly found on smaller-diameter mid-pipe and tailpipe joints rather than manifold connections, which usually use a 3 or 4 bolt pattern for extra strength.
What sizes do 2 bolt flanges come in?
Sizes vary by pipe diameter, so measure your existing pipe's outside diameter before ordering to make sure the flange fits correctly.
Do I need a specific gasket for a 2 bolt flange?
Yes, use a gasket matched to the 2 bolt pattern and pipe diameter for a proper, leak-free seal at the joint.
Can I use a 2 bolt flange to join stainless and mild steel pipe?
Yes, the flange just needs to be welded on correctly, but be aware that mixing metals at a joint can accelerate corrosion over time compared to matching materials.
