Abstract

A flange assembly for a pipe coupling is disclosed which includes a flange body (12) which has an outer periphery (14) and an inner periphery (16) which defines a central opening (18). Holes (20) are arranged in the body (12). A rubber gasket (26) is adhered to one side of the flange body (12) and has an inner periphery which projects into the central opening (18) so that when a sleeve (56) of a coupling member (54) is inserted into the central opening (18), the rubber gasket (26) is deformed inwardly into the opening (18) and spaces the sleeve (54) from the flange body (12).
