It depends on the diameter of the flange, the type of pipe, the materials, the type, size and grade of bolts, type, grade and size of the flange, and the pressure and temperature of the fluid transported in the pipe.

Some pipe flanges require very little torque on their bolts while others need as much as 500 foot-pounds of torque, or more. The design and application will determine the required torque.

How do you replace cast iron flange?

You have to take the lead and packing out that is holding the flange in the next piece of pipe. If your flange is broke where the toilet bolts go, this is very common. There is a repair available for this. It consists of two curved pieces of metal that are about 1/3 of the circumference of the flange. They go under the flange and give you a new place to put the bolt. They are a lot easier to use than replacing the whole flange.


How do you install blind flange?

To install a blind flange, first ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free from debris. Align the blind flange with the pipe, ensuring the gasket is placed correctly between the flange and the pipe. Use appropriate bolts to secure the flange, tightening them in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure. Finally, check for any leaks by testing the system under pressure.

What is the proper torque for the head bolts?

The torque loading for head (and many others) bolts varies with the engine concerned. It is important to check the manufacturers handbook to ensure the correct loading is applied. It is also important to tighten the bolts on the sequence indicated in the manual and by increments to the final loading. If no sequence is given then it is good practice to tighten from the centre out. For most 'standard' car engines it will be around 50 ft lb.
