When a flanged joint comes apart for service, the bolts have been loaded and the gasket has taken a set. Champion Big-Lock flange bolt kits put both back as a matched set, 73mm through 220mm, one part number per size.

Why Not Just Buy Bolts
Because the bolts are not the hard part. The hard part is having the right bolts, in the right length, in the right quantity, with the matching gasket, at the moment the joint is open and the line is isolated. A trip to the fastener bin produces something that threads in and does not produce a correctly specified flange joint.
At $57 to $242 at list this is a maintenance consumable, not a capital item. One kit per flange size in the plant, on the shelf, is the right answer.
Reassembly, Briefly
- Clean both flange faces. Old gasket material left on the face is the most common cause of a joint that will not seal on the second attempt.
- New gasket, every time. It is in the kit for a reason.
- Pull the bolts up in a star pattern, in stages, not one bolt at a time to full load. Uneven loading cocks the flange and the joint weeps on the light side.
- Bring the system up in steps and inspect at each step rather than going straight to working pressure.

Specification note. Champion's August 2026 price list publishes description, part number and list price for the Big-Lock range and nothing else: no bolt size, grade, length or count, no gasket material, no torque figure, no weights and no dimensions. We have not found a Big-Lock datasheet that supplies them. Rather than publish figures we cannot evidence, this listing states only what Champion publishes. If you need the bolt specification or a torque value before you order, ask us and we will get it from the factory.
Ideal Applications
Scheduled maintenance on flanged connections to dryers, receivers and filter housings, reassembling a flange after a equipment swap, recommissioning an isolated section, and stocked spares for any plant running Big-Lock flanges.
Building a Complete Big-Lock System
- Stainless flange kits, standard and high temperature, for the complete connection
- Flange gaskets on their own, if the bolts are still good
- Replacement coupling seals for the grooved joints
- Big-Lock aluminum pipe, 73mm to 273mm
- Butterfly valves and valve kits
Ordering Notes
- All Big-Lock products and accessories are NO CANCEL / NO RETURN, per Champion's current price list.
- Freight: freight collect from Huntersville, NC 28078 or Las Vegas, NV 89113.
- Shipping weights: Champion publishes no weight for any Big-Lock fitting, so no catalog weight is carried on these variants.
- Photography: Champion publishes no photograph of the Big-Lock flange bolt kits, so this listing is deliberately shown without an image rather than with a stand-in from another manufacturer's grooved range.
NOTE: Actual product may be different from pictured!
