Flanged Valves vs. Screwed Valves: How to Choose the Right Valve for Your Application
Compare flanged and screwed valves by connection type, pressure and temperature capability, sealing reliability, installation, maintenance, and cost. Flanged valves are better suited to large-diameter, high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive, and frequently maintained industrial pipelines, while screwed valves provide a compact and economical solution for smaller, moderate-pressure water, air, HVAC, and general utility systems.
