It takes the mechanical load of the connection and it has to stay flat and true for the o-ring behind it to seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is replaced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlanges crack, warp with heat, or get pulled out of shape by someone chasing a leak with a wrench. Once the sealing face is no longer flat, the joint weeps and tightening it further only makes the distortion worse. The o-rings that go with it, the flange adapter o-ring and the pair of spacer o-rings, are separate parts and worth replacing at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627968540884,"sku":"PAC-051-1291","price":67.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_b72309c2-c73d-49b2-8016-a87a92cf49eb.jpg?v=1788731938","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/3-adapter-flange","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
