This Essex flange allows for fitting without the need to gain access to the back of the flange. It provides a 22mm compression connection on a flat or curved surface such as the side or top wall of a copper cylinder for connection of any 22mm pipework. This immersion heater flange comes with rubber sealing washers and brass washers. This cylinder flange has a no stop connection which allows the pipework to extend through the flange as much or little as possible into the cylinder.
This guide is for anyone using the Essex 22mm Flange. The key benefit of this product is its ability to connect 22mm pipework to flat, curved, or domed surfaces without needing rear access. A key point to remember is to ensure proper sealing to prevent leaks. This guide covers setup, best practices, and troubleshooting to help you make the most of your Essex Flange.
