1.) Laying lengths shown exclude the bolted-on pulling flange. Pulling flange contains 2 taps (1” taps for 4”–10” and 2” taps for 12”–54”).
2.) These lengths are generally applicable for 14”–24” Flex–Lok Pipe. In other pipe sizes, AMERICAN may have capabilities to produce longer lengths. See table above for similar 30”–60” configuration lengths, and contact AMERICAN for specific longer lengths if desired. Use formulas to obtain overall length corresponding to maximum laying length or to any other required laying length. Other joint combinations are available with Flex–Lok Pipe, including Flex–Lok Ball and Ball in certain sizes. Contact AMERICAN for further details on any desired combination.
