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 geometry allows efficient installation in compact engine spaces while ensuring balanced load distribution and secure sealing performance. Produced from robust, corrosion-resistant materials, the flange is designed to tolerate vibration, thermal expansion, and demanding operating conditions typical of marine propulsion and industrial power applications. By providing reliable and stable system connections, the oval flange supports safe fluid transfer, minimizes leakage risks, and contributes to the overall operational reliability and longevity of the engine systems.
