Flanged vs Threaded Pump Connectors

Flanged and threaded pump connectors solve similar piping problems but are specified for different connection styles and system requirements.

Threaded pump connectors

Threaded connectors are common for smaller lines and systems that use male NPT or threaded union connections.

  • Often used on smaller lines
  • Common in HVAC and hydronic systems
  • Available with carbon steel or stainless ends

Flanged pump connectors

Flanged connectors are used where the system requires bolted flange connections, such as 150# raised face flanges.

  • Bolted flange installation
  • Useful for larger lines
  • Common in mechanical and industrial systems

How to decide

Match the connector to the existing piping specification and confirm line size, pressure class, material, and overall length.

  • Existing connection type
  • Pressure class
  • Maintenance access
