Instead of having to install a brass companion flange that requires careful alignment of bolt holes during brazing, the CTS Copper Companion Flange uses a copper fitting brazed/soldered directly to the copper tube, backed by a fully floating powder coated steel flange fitted with a neoprene insulator. The integral insulator allows the CTS flange to offer 100% protection against electrolysis.
Installation Procedure
Place CTS FLANGE over tube
Attach CTS FLANGE adapter
Braze / Solder CTS FLANGE adapter
Install gasket between adapter and equipment. Rotate CTS FLANGE to align bolt holes and tighten
Note: The steel flange should be 15" from the heat source to eliminate any chance of burning the rubber electrolysis insulator.
