FLANGE OVAL FOR 50NB GALVANISED PIPE DOWNEE F50

Slide the flange oval onto your 50NB galvanised pipe before final installation. Secure it with bolts through the mounting holes, making sure it sits flush and level. Tighten bolts gradually in a cross pattern to avoid warping, then check that the flange is square to the pipe before connecting your gate or panel. Tips: Always use stainless steel or galvanised bolts to match your pipe — mild steel will rust and seize up in the Queensland weather. Apply a light coat of grease to the bolts before installation so you can actually undo them if you need to service the gate in five years' time. Check that your pipe isn't bent or damaged before fitting the flange, as a bent pipe won't sit properly and you'll end up with a weak gate hinge.
