Our threaded end metal braided flexible connectors absorb thermal and seismic movement, absorb hydraulic shock, provide vibration and noise dampening, ease installation and correct minor misalignment of piping and components. They are widely used for plumbing, HVAC and mechanical piping applications.

The inner hose adopts an annular bellows design, well suited for pump connections. This annular structure sustains torsional stress from longitudinal expansion caused by pressure rises. The 304 stainless steel wire braid restrains hose elongation under working pressure, dampens vibration and increases abrasion resistance. Optimal braid coverage contains the 321 stainless steel corrugated core under pressure and reduces twisting or squirming during operation.

This connector permits controlled axial compression, axial elongation, transverse movement and angular deflection to accommodate pipeline displacement. It features ASTM A53 carbon steel male NPT threaded ends. Working pressure ranges from 450 PSI to 1040 PSI based on nominal size. Not recommended for steam service.
