These sets comprise an electrically insulating flange gasket, plus insulating bolt sleeves and washers to prevent corrosion through bolts. They are used in cathodic protection systems and to eliminate galvanic corrosion. Our Flange Insulation Sets are a popular choice by shipyards for use in pipework systems where flange connections of dissimilar metals meet.
