Single Sphere Flexible Connector
Overview:
Our single sphere flexible rubber connector is designed to absorb pipeline thermal expansion, seismic displacement, hydraulic shock, vibration and noise. It also compensates for minor piping misalignment for easier installation. Compared with cylindrical rubber connectors, its spherical rubber body delivers better stress distribution, lower turbulence and less sediment buildup.
With excellent chemical resistance, this connector works for both pressure and vacuum piping systems across a wide temperature range. Control rods are available separately to limit excessive movement when piping anchoring is insufficient.
Key Features:
-
Size Range: 2-1/2"-10"
- Spherical elastomer design for uniform stress dispersion, reducing deformation under pressure
- Dampens vibration, noise and water hammer shock to protect piping and equipment
- Accommodates axial, lateral and angular offset, corrects minor pipe misalignment
- Smooth streamlined bore cuts turbulence and sediment accumulation
- Suitable for both pressure and vacuum service
- Wide working temperature range: 14°F to 158°F
- Max working pressure: 227 PSI; Burst pressure: 853 PSI @ 80°F
- Optional separate control rod assemblies for motion limitation
- Simple flange connection for fast installation
