Common flanges used in plumbing are the Surrey Although flange generally refers to the actual raised rim or lip of a fitting, many flanged plumbing fittings are themselves known as 'flanges':or Danzey flange, York flange, Sussex flange and Essex flange. Surrey and York flanges fit to the top of the hot water tank allowing all the water to be taken without disturbance to the tank. They are often used to ensure an even flow of water to power showers. An Essex flange requires a hole to be drilled in the side of the tank. There is also a Warix flange which is the same as a York flange but the shower output is on the top of the flange and the vent on the side. The York and Warix flange have female adapters so that they fit onto a male tank, whereas the Surrey flange connects to a female tank.

There are times when I wish I would have attended the plumbing school. The information you have posted is really valuable for any DIY individual. However I prefer not to poke my nose in something that I don't know anything about. Seriously, I've messed up a lot of things because of my eagerness. Anyways, last year when I moved in to my new house, I was looking for a plumbing contractor whom I could hire to take care of my plumbing needs. Then my neighbors told me about George Brazil http://www.georgebrazil.net/. They are a professional plumbing service provider and they are 'professional' indeed. Since the day they took over the plumbing job of my house, I haven't faced any problem. I would definitely recommend these guys to everyone and would also suggest that you should visit their website and check out their profile and services.
