Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put more than one NPT in a bleed ring?
Yes, multiple NPT ports can be added upon request.
I need a larger NPT. Is this possible?
Yes, we can add a larger tap, but the thickness may need to be adjusted to accommodate this.
How thick are these bleed rings?
They are typically 1.5" thick, but can be made in other thicknesses upon request. Your studs will need to accommodate the space of the bleed ring and flanges.
Are these available with socket weld taps?
Yes. We regularly provide Bleed Ring / Drip Ring / Vent Ring with socket weld taps.
Can I get this in a different flange rating than what's listed?
Yes, we can custom manufacture our bleed rings the way you require.
What materials do your bleed rings come in?
We primarily manufacture our bleed rings in 304 and 316 stainless steel, but we can make them in any material you need.
Is this available thicker than your normal dimensions?
Yes, as the manufacturer we can customize any of our products to your exact specifications.
Can you make these larger than 14"?
Absolutely! A large bleed ring is not a problem. We can go up to 80" O.D. on our lathes, and can customize solutions for even larger diameters when needed. Let us know what you need, and we'll be happy to manufacture it for you.
