How it's used
Borrowed directly from the English word flange, this term is standard terminology in engineering, plumbing, and construction contexts in Hong Kong. It is almost exclusively used in technical or trade environments rather than casual daily conversation. When discussing household repairs, people often use this term specifically to identify the exact part needed at a hardware store.
