BELL & GOSSETT INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF ISOLATION FLANGES

Morton Grove, IL -- June 27, 2003.

Bell & Gossett has introduced a new line of Isolation Flanges (Patent Pending) that combines a full port isolation ball valve and a circulator flange to allow circulators to be isolated from the rest of the system for quick and easy removal. This time and money-saving feature eliminates the need to drain the entire system when removing the circulator for service or replacement.

Free-floating flanges rotate to eliminate the need to align the bolt holes of the flanges when installing it to the system piping. Available in 3/4”, 1” and 1-1/4” NPT and sweat, the flanges are designed to be used with all brands of circulators, including Bell & Gossett's NRF, NBF, and SSF wet rotors, Series PL, Series 100, HV, PR and LR circulators.

The isolation flange utilizes a standard 90-degree-turn ball valve and long handle for ease of operation. The non-ferrous wetted internal components make the isolation flanges ideal for hydronic heating systems.
