A long weld neck flange is a one-piece component with an extended neck that is welded directly to the pipe. The long hub provides a smooth transition from flange to pipe bore and helps distribute pressure across the weld. This makes the flange a common choice where strength, steady flow, and stable welded connections are priorities.
Design and Operational Benefits
The extended neck reduces stress concentration at the weld and supports better alignment with the pipe bore. These flanges work well where steady flow and minimised turbulence are important in process lines. A raised face long weld neck flange option is included for applications where a defined gasket seating area is required to achieve consistent gasket compression and sealing.
Long weld neck flanges are often specified for connections to vessels, pumps, heat exchangers, and equipment nozzles. The continuous neck and flange body help maintain weld integrity in systems with elevated pressure or temperature loads. For complex piping projects, these flanges can be paired with buttweld fittings to ensure smooth transitions and secure welded joints.
Common Industrial Applications
Typical uses include:
High-pressure steam and thermal fluid lines
Oil and gas process piping and headers
Chemical and petrochemical process units
Pressure vessels, columns, and equipment nozzles
Fabrication projects where an extended hub improves fit and reinforcement
These flanges support piping layouts that need a fixed, long-term connection and where frequent disassembly is not expected.
Materials, Sizes, and Ratings
This collection covers standard sizes and pressure classes used in U.S. process industries. Material grades commonly include carbon steel and stainless steel industrial alloys. Product pages list dimensions, pressure class, and material details so buyers can confirm compatibility with their pipe schedule and equipment requirements.
When a raised face long weld neck flange is specified, the product listing includes the raised face height and sealing surface details to help match gasket type and clamp load needs.

Poor delivery performance
Love your products, like your prices however I ordered components “in stock for immediate delivery”. Needed them ASAP, couldn’t upgrade delivery method. Took 8 days to print a label, didn’t get picked up by ups till day 10!

Way too long for response time
On January 28, this part was ordered. I am still awaiting a tracking details through UPS. This is for a customer who’s global valve coming off of their well leading to their irrigation supply as well as their residential water supply had broken and had a not isolated the line and cap the irrigation side off to restore water. This customer would still be without utilities. I haven’t received a tracking number out of the eight times I’ve called. I finally got through to one person and even still they couldn’t provide me with any details and this was over a week ago that I last spoke to them I have been charged. I have not received a notice that it has been shipped. I have not received the product. I would not recommend purchasing from this supplier, especially in emergency situations because of the lack of timely manner.

Slow fulfillment
Ordered “in stock” items because i needed ASAP, took 8 days to print label, another two before UPS pickup, asked them to expedite shipping on day 7. No response! Not at all happy with Trypply
