The oval flange, code 170901, is a precision-engineered connection component used in the MAN L21/31 engine to establish durable and pressure-resistant joints between piping systems, hoses, and mechanical interfaces. Its oval-shaped geometry allows efficient installation in confined engine spaces while ensuring balanced load distribution and reliable sealing performance under demanding operating conditions. Manufactured from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, the flange is designed to withstand vibration, thermal expansion, and exposure to aggressive marine or industrial environments. By providing stable and leak-tight system connections, the oval flange supports safe fluid transfer, minimizes operational risks, and contributes to the overall reliability and longevity of the engine systems.
