Industrial 42596 Socket Weld Raised Face Flange

Kerkau 5-inch Socket Weld Raised Face Flange, part number 42596, is a carbon steel flange designed for socket-weld piping connections. It is manufactured from A105 carbon steel and features an eight-bolt pattern along with a raised-face seating surface for a defined gasket contact. This flange is rated Class 300 (300 STD), aligning with standard pressure service in piping systems that use a socket-weld joint. The 5-inch nominal size and socket-weld configuration describe a connecting option for systems requiring a raised-face gasket surface and a robust, bolt-enabled interface. Together, these specifications—Kerkau brand, 5" size, socket-weld connection, raised-face design, A105 carbon steel, eight-bolt pattern, and Class 300 rating—identify this flange as the specific part 42596 suitable for standard mid-range pressure applications.
