An ASTM A335 P22 expander flange is a weld neck flange whose hub increases the pipe size, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching expander flange is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. Expander flanges step up the line size at a pump or valve outlet, replacing a reducer and a standard weld neck flange with one part.
