 Installation
Quick and easy

Installing a FRANK puddle flange takes From d 560, installation is carried out
only a few steps: with a clamping tool.
The puddle flange is mounted by hand on

With Easy-Lock function

The puddle flange installation kits (d 20
up to d 500) come with the self-locking
Easy-Lock function. Using this technique
the puddle flange can be clamped many
times faster. Use of a cordless screwdriver
is possible (tightning torque 5 Nm).

YTMPipe puddle flanges are manufactured using supreme quality stainless steel and progressive
technology as per the global standards. Steel and stainless steel wall sleeves are generally built into
walls, floor plates or ceilings during the process of shuttering. They are designed to take in seal
inserts for pipe or cable penetrations.

Materials:
• Stainless steel V2A/AISI 304 or V4A 316Ti
• Carbon Steel ST37,ST42,ST52 etc
• Galvanised or Plain Black
ENGR. SYED SAAD ALI

Area of usage : Stainless steel wall sleeves are mainly used in the construction of drinking water
facilities, chemical facilities and sewage plants due to their high
resistance to corrosion.

lf corrosion resistance is not a main priority, it is more economical to use

galvanized or plain black puddle flanges.Steel wall sleeves are often
provided with a seamlessly or longitutal welded flange ring to secure
them against water penetration caused by capillary action.
