Plasson Backing Ring Steel Coated PP PN16
Manufactured from steel and encapsulated in a heavy duty polypropylene coating, this backing ring delivers the structural strength of metal with the chemical resilience of thermoplastic an ideal combination for installations exposed to ground contaminants, corrosive environments, and harsh chemicals.
Designed specifically for use with PE flange adaptors (stub flanges), the backing ring reinforces polyethylene pipe joints by evenly distributing bolt load across the flange face. The result is a high integrity connection that holds firm under pressure, rated to PN16 in compliance with ISO/DIN 2501 and EN1092. Connecting PE pipelines to industrial valves, hydrants, pumps, or flanged metal pipework becomes a straightforward bolting operation, no specialized tools, no complicated assembly.
Approved to EN 1555, EN 12201, and UK Water Regulations 4, the Plasson Backing Ring meets the rigorous standards required for both gas and water distribution systems. For engineers and contractors who need a reliable, fully compliant flange connection component they can count on, this backing ring delivers the performance and durability the job demands.
