Stainless Steel Flexible Connectors

Applications

Supaflex Stainless steel pump Connectors have been optimally designed for use in pipework systems where pumps or compressors are used - to suppress noise, absorb vibration, to correct and accommodate for minor lateral misalignment or thermal movement, and to adjust for any building settlement.

Construction

Manufactured with AISI 321 stainless steel corrugated tubing (to BS6501 Pt. I ) with AISI 304 stainless steel single overbraid, & carbon or stainless steel end fittings TIG welded-on. AISI 316 stainless steel also available.

End Fittings

Screwed assemblies - Threaded BSP Taper Male Hexagon or Half 'Barrel fittings. Flanged assemblies - To BS 10, BS4504 & ANSI/ASA standards. Other threads/flanges also available swivel flanged ends

Installation

Braided pump connectors are not designed to absorb axial vibration ! Moderate Vibration / Noise For maximum efficiency, the connectors should be placed in both the suction and discharge lines, as close as possible & at 90" to the vibration source. They must be anchored at the pipework, on the end away from the source.
