This is not quite sprinkler related but it's dealing with a fire pump and 
metric versus imperial units.

I have a pump installed by a Turkish contractor. We're revamping the pump 
piping to conform as good as we can to NFPA.

Well we tried to bolt our OS&Y valve up to their pump and the bolt circle is a 
little smaller then ours. Our valves as all from the USA and that's what the 
client wants. So now I'm faced with boring out the holes or something to make 
them match up.

The flange has a PN16 which is less than a 150 class flange, which would be 
roughly PN20. Besides machine drilling the holes, anyone run into this before? 
We have groove flange adapters that will accommodate the PN16 flange. Just 
means we'll have to add in a little piece of pipe and order more groove flange 
adapters from the states.

Thanks!
