flanges
Pipe connection rims
Flanges are projecting rims or edges that strengthen, guide, or attach.
A pipe flange allows two sections to bolt together.
Train wheels have flanges that grip the rail.
Sheet metal may have flanged edges for rigidity or mounting: The ductwork flanges were riveted to the ceiling joists.
The singular flange refers to any such projecting collar or lip.
