INGCO S-WP-IFL-WP80 Flange

The S-WP-IFL-WP80 refers to a flange specifically designed for a WP80 water pump model. Flanges are essential components for connecting various parts of a water pump system. Here’s a breakdown of their components and how they work:

Components of a Flange (Generally):

• Flange Disc: A flat or round, often raised, disc-shaped main body of the flange.
• Bolt Holes: Holes drilled around the flange disc to accommodate bolts or studs for secure fastening.
• Gasket Seating Surface : A flat or grooved surface on the flange disc that creates a seal when a gasket is placed between two flanges.

How Flanges Work in Water Pumps:

1. Connection Point: The flange disc is attached to the pump housing or pipe end, creating a designated connection point.
2. Bolted or Clamped: Another flanged component (from a pipe, another pump component, etc.) is positioned against the first flange’s surface. Bolts or studs are inserted through the holes, threaded, and tightened with nuts to create a secure connection. Alternatively, clamps might be used for specific flange designs.
3. Gasket Sealing : A gasket, made of rubber, metal, or other sealing material, is placed between the two contacting flange surfaces. Tightening the bolts or clamps compresses the gasket, forming a watertight seal to prevent leakage.
