Frequently Asked Questions

How many bolts does the flange use?

Standard flanges use 4 bolts (M3 or M4) on a circular bolt pattern. Custom bolt counts (2, 6, or 8 bolts) are available for larger flanges or panels with existing bolt holes.

Can the flange connector be used as a bulkhead feed-through?

Yes -- the flange connector is designed specifically for panel-mount feed-through use. The body seals against the panel face, and the mating plug connects from the external side.

What is the depth rating?

Standard is 300 m. Custom depth-rated versions with titanium hardware and reinforced sealing are available for deeper applications.

Applications

  • Extreme deep-sea environments requiring rugged metal-shell connector protection
  • Pressure vessel feed-through and airtight cabin connector applications
  • Subsea equipment housings where connector structural strength is critical
  • Offshore drilling and production systems in high-vibration environments
  • Naval underwater systems requiring MIL-spec grade connector durability

Customization Options

  • Stainless steel, titanium or specialized alloy shell materials for corrosion resistance
  • Custom flange mounting patterns and bulkhead sealing configurations
  • Customer-specified O-ring materials for extreme temperature or chemical exposure
  • Certified pressure testing to maximum rated depth with material certifications
