At API International, we produce steel pipe flanges specifically for waterworks service, ensuring full compliance with AWWA C207 Class E specifications. Our inventory includes blind, slip-on, and hub-style ring flanges designed for reliable sealing in municipal and industrial water systems. We offer a comprehensive range of dimensions in both domestic (AIS) and import materials, with the added capability to provide custom-machined solutions for unique project requirements.
Class E is a higher waterworks pressure class with a standardized flange drilling pattern:
* For many sizes, Class E bolt-hole patterns align with ASME Class 150 drilling patterns, but dimensional alignment does not mean the pressure/temperature ratings are identical. Pressure limits remain standard- and service-dependent.

A Slip On Flange is a type of pipe flange that is slipped over the end of a pipe and welded in place.
A Blind Flange is a detachable sealing device used to block off a pipeline or to create a stop.
Hub Ring Flanges are manufactured to AWWA C207 and ANSI #150 bolt pattern specifications.
AWWA C207 covers sizes 4 in through 144 in (100 mm through 3,600 mm) for steel pipe flanges in waterworks service.
AWWA C207 Class E flanges are rated for 275 psi at atmospheric temperature.
No.
AWWA C207 states its pressure ratings are for conditions and temperatures customary in water utility service and should be based on maximum operating pressure plus anticipated surge. They are not ASME-style pressure–temperature tables.
AWWA C207 covers carbon steel flanges, while AWWA C228 covers stainless steel flanges for the same applications. Both define dimensions, pressure classes, and material requirements.
