Re: Cast iron pump nozzle with RF flange

Thank you all for your responses,

I have decided to ask the vendor to provide a FF flange for the nozzle.

There are some links of interest on this subject,

How does the use of a low strength bolt ensure that the bolt load does not exceed so much as to cause it to break (if the RF were used). I suppose this has to be limited by the limiting the torque used for the bolt up.
