Lap Joint Stub End

The ‘mated’ pair to a Lap Joint Flange. Stub Ends are Fittings used in place of welded flanges where rotating back up flanges are desired. Using stub ends allows sections of the line to be opened for cleaning, inspection, or quick replacement etc, without the need to re-weld. Stub Ends are typically manufactured by two methods, Type A & Type B and are available in two standard lengths , long (ANSI) or short (MSS) pattern.
