The flange 11 is provided with the flange cover 12. When the flange leaks, the leaked water vapor will flow into the flange cover. The middle portions of the four connecting blocks 13 are penetrated by and threadedly connected with bolts 15. The bottoms of the bolts 15 are threadedly connected with nuts 16, and the nuts 16 cooperate with the connecting blocks 13.
