ANSI B16.9 Stub Ends for Lap Joint Flanges – Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Grades
Prime Steel Corporation is a prominent supplier of Lap Joint Stub Ends for industrial piping systems across Colombo, with supply capabilities extended to Gampaha, Katunayake, Kandy, Trincomalee, Hambantota, and Jaffna. These fittings are engineered to work in combination with Lap Joint Flanges, allowing easy alignment and disassembly of piping sections, especially where space constraints or corrosion-resistant materials are a concern. The Lap Joint Stub End acts as a welded extension of the pipe, while the backing flange remains loose, enabling cost-effective flange reuse and reducing material wastage in high-alloy systems. Ideal for low-pressure, non-critical, or frequently dismantled systems, they are widely used in chemical processing, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, and marine applications. All our Lap Joint Stub Ends are manufactured according to ASME B16.9 and MSS SP-43 standards, with stringent dimensional accuracy and metallurgical integrity.
Features of Lap Joint Stub Ends:
- Designed for use with Lap Joint (Loose) Flanges
- Offers rotational alignment and ease of disassembly
- Reduces overall cost in high-alloy piping systems
- Minimizes corrosion in flange areas as only the stub end contacts the fluid
