What Texas Flange does

Texas Flange, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Pearland, Texas, is an industrial pipe flange manufacturer and distributor serving petrochemical, oil and gas, and waterworks customers domestically and internationally. The company produces a comprehensive range of ANSI/ASME, API, and AWWA standard flanges — including weld neck, slip on, blind, socket weld, threaded, and lap joint styles — across 50+ material grades (carbon steel, stainless steel, chrome alloys, nickel alloys including Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, plus aluminum, copper, duplex, and titanium), pressure classes from 150 to 20K, and sizes from 1/2 inch to 203 inches. The product line also spans MSS-SP-44, API 6A RTJ face, API-605, ASME Boiler Code, plate, ANSI long weld necks, studding outlets, spectacle blinds, DIN and JIS international flanges, and custom special ring flanges, with services including stainless and alloy plate flame cutting and galvanizing.

Texas Flange operates a substantial technical content and engineering-support infrastructure: an online repository of searchable CAD and 3D flange drawings, an 80-page industrial catalog (Version 5.1, June 2026), comprehensive dimension and weight reference tables, a 162+ article technical blog covering flange specification, standards, and regulatory content, and an email newsletter. The company maintains both stocked inventory for same-day or short-lead shipments and made-to-order production lead times of 2 days to 2 months, supplemented by a Direct Import Program sourcing through overseas mills for cost-sensitive or long-term contract projects. It launched the first flange website online in 1997, published its first online catalog in 2001, and had reached shipping to every continent globally by 2005.

The business is sales-led B2B with no self-serve e-commerce; all orders are taken via phone, email, or online quote request, and pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of stocked and custom-manufactured flanges — both domestically produced and imported — to enterprise and mid-market buyers across petrochemical, oilfield, waterworks, power generation, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, mining/metals, and pulp and paper verticals across the United States (especially Texas and the Gulf Coast) and international markets. Founded by Gerald 'Jerry' Fuller (who passed away in December 2012), the company remains a privately held, founder-aligned industrial supplier with no disclosed institutional investment or ownership transactions.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Weld Neck Flanges Tapered hub butt-welded to run pipe, designed for high-pressure, high-temperature, cyclic, and critical service applications in oil and gas, refining, and pressure vessels.
• Slip On Flanges Slipped over pipe end and fillet-welded inside and out, easier alignment than weld neck with lower pressure rating, used in lower-pressure service and waterworks applications.
• Blind Flanges Solid disc with no bore that closes off the end of a flanged pipe run, used at terminations, inspection ports, and pressure vessel manways.
• Socket Weld Flanges Pipe slips into a socket bore and is fillet-welded externally, limited to smaller sizes and lower pressures, common in process piping for instrument lines and small-bore service.
• Threaded / Companion Flanges Internal NPT threads requiring no welding, used in low-pressure, low-temperature, non-cyclic service, common in utility lines and small-bore hydraulic and pneumatic applications.
• Lap Joint Flanges Two-piece design with a stub end welded to pipe and a backing flange free to rotate, used where bolt-hole alignment is tricky or where line material is exotic.
• ANSI/ASME Forged Flanges Forged industrial flanges meeting ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards for pipe flanges and flanged fittings from NPS 1/2 through 24 inches.
• MSS-SP-44 Flanges Large diameter steel flanges per MSS-SP-44 and ANSI B16.47 Series A for transmission pipeline projects.
• API Type 6A RTJ Face Flanges Wellhead and Christmas tree equipment flanges per API 6A specification for upstream oil and gas operations.
• API-605 Flanges Large diameter flanges per ANSI B16.47 Series B for high-pressure industrial applications.
• A.G.A. Orifice Unions Orifice flanges furnished with or without hardware for flow measurement applications.
• ASME Boiler Code Flanges Flanges meeting ASME Boiler Code requirements for pressure vessel and boiler applications.
• CL. 125 Lightweight Flanges Lightweight flanges for low-pressure applications per ANSI B16.1 standard.
• Plate Flanges Plate flanges from 1/4 inch through 8 inch thickness, including AWWA C207 and special designs.
• ANSI Long Weld Necks Extended neck flanges including HB, E, I1, I2, I3 and custom body connectors for special applications.
• Studding Outlets (Pad Flanges) Made-to-order pad flanges available in flat bottom or radiused configurations for tank and vessel applications.
• Spectacle Blinds Line blanks and paddle spacers/blinds for positive isolation of pipeline sections.
• DIN Flanges German industrial flange standard flanges for international applications.
• JIS Flanges Japanese Industrial Standards flanges for international applications.
• Special Ring Flanges Custom special ring flanges designed to customer specifications.
• Stainless and Alloy Plate Flame Cutting Flame cutting services for stainless steel and alloy plate flanges.

• Mueller Industries: Mueller Industries is a large publicly traded manufacturer of copper, brass, aluminum, and plastic products including pipe fittings and pipe components. Comparable to Texas Flange in industrial piping components but vastly broader in materials and channels.
• Anvil International (ASC Engineered Solutions): Anvil International is a much larger, broad-line manufacturer of pipe fittings, couplings, and flanges serving plumbing, mechanical, and industrial customers. Comparable to Texas Flange on the flange and pipe fitting categories but vastly larger in scale and broader in product mix.
• NIBCO: NIBCO is an established US manufacturer of commercial and industrial flow-control products including flanges, valves, and fittings. Overlaps with Texas Flange in industrial flanges while serving broader plumbing and HVAC customers at scale.
• Hackney Ladish (now ASC Engineered Solutions): Hackney Ladish was a US flange manufacturer (now part of ASC Engineered Solutions) producing steel and alloy flanges for oil & gas, petrochem, and industrial markets. Closely aligned with Texas Flange's product set and customer base but operating at greater scale post-acquisition.
• Pentair Flow Technologies: Pentair is a multinational flow and filtration products company whose portfolio includes industrial valves and adjacent fluid-handling components. Comparable to Texas Flange in serving industrial fluid-handling applications but at vastly greater scale and product breadth.

Regional players

• Industrial Metal Supply: West Coast-based metals service center supplying aluminum, steel, stainless, and specialty alloys in bar, sheet, tube, and plate form. Adjacent to Texas Flange as an industrial metals/materials supplier though not a direct flange manufacturer.
