Pipe Sleeve 2

[RMERMP]

Goody day,

i have a situation concerning pipe sleeves. can the size of the pipe sleeve depends on the size of flange connection?

i have 150mm pipe near a wall the consultant told me that the size of the pipe sleeve should be bigger than the flange so that the pipe can be pull out easily for servicing. thanks

What kind of flanges are you using? Grooved or even threaded flanges would not have that issue as they can be removed.

Grooved flange are used. can you direct me sir if there is any code that i can use to contest the comment of that consultant?

As long as you don't use welded flanges in the future.

There is no code. It is common sense - which is often in short supply. With a grooved flange, you can take it off of the pipe. You can't do that with a welded flange.
