Short-type lap joint stub end SP has one end with a butt-weld bevel, welded and fixed to the main pipe; the other end is a flat lap joint flange face formed by hot stamping integrated molding, serving as the sealing pressure-bearing surface of the slip-on flange. The slip-on flange can rotate 360° for alignment, making it easier to handle issues such as bolt hole misalignment, fixed equipment nozzle angles, and construction in confined spaces during on-site installation. Our SP short-type lap joint stub ends use integrated molding technology, with no splicing welds, and the end face is precisely turned flat. Specifications cover mainstream diameters, and regular models are in stock, suitable for small and medium-sized projects, foreign trade bulk distribution, and standardized supporting procurement by equipment manufacturers. Specific configurations such as material, diameter, and wall thickness can be confirmed according to project requirements.
Overview
Short Type Stub End SP is a standard lap joint fitting used with lap joint flanges, manufactured to the MSS SP43 standard. One end is a butt weld bevel, which is welded and fixed to the main pipe; the other end is a flat flanged face formed by hot stamping in one piece, serving as the flange sealing pressure-bearing surface. The lap joint flange can rotate freely 360°, making alignment easier during installation. Compared with the LP Long Type Stub End, the SP Short Type has a shorter straight pipe section, a more compact structure, and lighter weight, making it suitable for low-pressure ambient-temperature piping systems with conventional anti-corrosion requirements that need frequent disassembly or are in space-constrained locations. Our SP Short Type Stub Ends are produced with a one-piece forming process, with no spliced welds, and the end face is precision-turned flat. Regular models are in stock, making them suitable for small and medium-sized projects, foreign trade bulk distribution, and standardized supporting procurement by equipment manufacturers.
Key Features
The core advantages of the SP Short Type Stub End are compact structure, high cost-effectiveness, strong versatility, and time-saving installation. Compared with the LP Long Type, the SP stub end has a shorter body and uses less material, resulting in lower per-unit procurement cost and lower full-container logistics costs, making it suitable for foreign trade bulk volume and low-price infrastructure projects. The product adopts hot stamping one-piece forming, with no spliced welds and no sand holes or gas pores, providing stable pressure resistance under low-pressure working conditions. The flanged end face is CNC precision-turned flat, with high fit with gaskets and good sealing performance. The lap joint flange can rotate 360° for alignment, reducing the trouble of bolt hole misalignment and construction in narrow spaces during on-site installation. For standard in-stock specifications in regular carbon steel, 304, and 316 stainless steel, precision inspection and protective packaging are completed within 24–48 hours after payment confirmation.
Applications
The SP Short Type Stub End is mainly used in low-pressure ambient-temperature piping systems with conventional anti-corrosion requirements that need frequent disassembly or are in space-constrained locations. In environmental water treatment, it can be used for sewage transmission pipelines, pure water equipment piping, auxiliary pipelines for exhaust gas treatment, and reclaimed water reuse system piping. In municipal infrastructure, it can be used for urban water supply and drainage networks, auxiliary heating pipelines for residential communities, temporary pipelines for municipal renovation, and park transmission pipelines. In light industry and chemicals, it can be used for auxiliary pipelines in chemical workshops, branch pipes for chemical agent transportation, ambient-temperature material storage pipelines, and ordinary anti-corrosion process pipelines. In equipment supporting, it can be used for heat exchanger connections, external piping for pressure vessels, cooling pipelines for electromechanical equipment, and connection ports for small fluid equipment. It is also suitable for outdoor ambient-temperature pipelines, indoor piping in equipment-dense and narrow spaces, and industrial piping systems that require regular disassembly for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance.
