• 10.04 VIC-FLANGE ADAPTER NOTES The Style 744 (2 - 8750- 200 mm) design incorporates small teeth inside the key shoulder I.D.to prevent rotation. 2 FireLock Flange adapter should not be used on FireLock fittings. When wafer or lug-type valves are used adjoining a Victaulic fitting, check disc dimensions to assure proper clearance. 3 FireLock Flange adapters should not be used as anchor points fortie-rods across nonrestrained joints. Mating rubber faced flanges, valves, etc. require the use of a FireLock Flange washer. 4 Area A-B noted in the above drawing must be free from gouges, undulations or deformities of any type for effective sealing. 5 FireLock Flange adapter gaskets must always be assembled with the color coded lip on the pipe and the other lip facing the mating flange. 6 Flange Washers: FireLock Flange adapters require a smooth hard surface atthe mating flange face for effective sealing. Some applications for which the Vic-Flange adapter is otherwise well suited do not provide an adequate mating surface.In such cases,it is recom mended that a metal Flange Washer be inserted between the FireLock Flange adapter and the mating flange to provide the necessary sealing surface. Typical applications where a Flange Washer should be used are: A When mating to a serrated flange: a standard flat flange gasket should be used adjacentto the serrated flange and then the Flange Washer is inserted between the FireLock Flange adapter and the flange gasket. s When mating to a wafer valve:where typical valves are rubber lined and partially rubberfaced (smooth or not),the Flange Washer is placed between the valve and the FireLock Flange adapter. c When mating a rubber faced flange:the Flange Washer is placed between the FireLock Flange adapters and the rubber faced flange. D When mating AWWA castflanges to IPS flanges:the Flange Washer is placed between two FireLock Flanges. The hinge points must be oriented approximately 90°to each other. If one flange is not a FireLock Flange adapter(e.g.flanged valve),then a standard flat flange gasket must be placed adjacentto that flange and the Flange Washer inserted between the flange gasket and the FireLock Flange adapter. E When mating to components (valves, strainers, etc.) where the component flange face has an insert: follow the same arrangement as in Application 1. F When mating to a Series 705-W Butterfly valve, Style 744 may only be used on one side of the connection. When ordering Flange Washers,always specify product style(Style 744)and size to assure proper Range Washer is supplied.
