Bronze Sweat Flexible Connector
Overview:
Our bronze sweat end metal braided flexible connectors are engineered to absorb thermal and seismic movement, absorb hydraulic shock, deliver vibration and noise dampening, ease field installation, and correct minor misalignment between piping and components. They are widely used across plumbing, HVAC and mechanical equipment piping applications.
The inner corrugated annular bellows is optimized for pump connections, capable of sustaining torsional stress from longitudinal expansion caused by pressure rises. The outer bronze braid restrains hose elongation under working pressure, suppresses vibration and increases abrasion resistance. Proper braid coverage secures the corrugated core under pressure and reduces twisting or squirming during operation.
This connector allows controlled axial compression, axial elongation, transverse movement and angular deflection to accommodate pipeline displacement. Constructed with ASTM B88 copper female sweat ends for soldered joint connection, Working pressure ranges from 320 PSI to 390 PSI depending on nominal size.
