A point of difference and nice feature to consider when investing in your next butt welding machine.

A butterfly valve that cannot open, is a system that cannot flow.

When a standard range stub fl**ge is mated with a butterfly valve, it will stop the butterfly valve from operating.

UPG offers specialised machined stub fl**ges to ensure the butterfly valve can open and you don’t run into issues commissioning your pipeline.

To ensure you have the right products for the job every time, contact our technical support team to avoid any costly mistakes

📌Project completion – Seaview WWTP

Twin 630mm temporary bypass lines have now been installed at the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant.

UPG supported the project by providing technical drawings for client approval, followed by site measurements and assistance with the final connections to ensure everything was completed accurately.

A great effort from the contractors on site and our fabrication team in the workshop to deliver this result.

If you're planning an upcoming pipeline or water infrastructure project, our team is ready to help with design support, fabrication, and installation.

See how we are helping Civil contractors get productivity gains on their project...

We work with your team from the tender stage to identify what can be prefabricated off-site and minimise number of days you need a welding crew on site, so you can focus on getting the job done efficiently.

By reducing the number of welds needed onsite, you can significantly improve your methodology and therefore take advantage of cost savings.

Pricing a job with PE100 Stubs? Check your butt welding equipment first.

If you're using short leg weld stub fl**ges, you'll need a stub end holder.

Otherwise, switch to the long leg or spigot length stubs where your standard butt welder will be able to hold them in the clamps. These are also the stub fl**ge type you will need if performing Electrofusion welding.

To talk to the team about pricing your next job, drop us a line on 0800 473 100 or contact our sales team at [email protected]
