Can a 6-hole flange be used to connect a valve with 4 holes for bolts, given that the valve’s pressure rating is suitable?

What needs to be considered is whether the grade and material of the flange, as well as the type of primary sealing surface, meet the process requirements; if they do, I think it should be fine

How to insert bolts in a 6-hole pattern? ? ? ~~~~~Did the original poster make a mistake? It should be 8 holes, right?

No, 4-hole and 6-hole versions can only accommodate 2 bolts
Reply #52018-03-19
For standard flanges, the number of holes is always a multiple of 4, right?

There’s no 6-hole flange; it’s either 4 holes or 8 holes
Reply #72018-03-19
No, the angles don’t match

Agree with what was said on floor 6: 6-hole and 4-hole versions can only accommodate 2 bolts, which is not sufficient in terms of strength

Eight-hole versions can be used if they meet the required pressure rating and material specifications. If the materials are different, it is not recommended to use it
