Fitted from one side, this Essex flange adds a 1/2 inch BSP female threaded connection to a hot water cylinder / tank.
Essex flanges have been the perfect connector for hot water cylinders and closed tanks for over 90 years.
The popular Essex flange is the easiest and fastest method of making very sound tank and boiler connections. There is no need to get at the job through the top cap in a tank or cylinder because connections using Essex flanges can be made in awkward places by cutting a hole and fitting from one side only without the need to remove the vessel.
