FLEXIBLE PIPE CONNECTOR UNION TYPE

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES:
Union Connection: Union-type flexible pipe connectors
feature a union
connection design, allowing for easy installation and
removal without the need for special tools. The union
connection consists of threaded or flanged ends that can
be easily joined or separated, facilitating maintenance and
repairs.
Flexible Material: These connectors are constructed using
flexible materials such as rubber, neoprene, or elastomeric
compounds, which provide elasticity and allow for
movement in multiple directions. The flexibility of the
material enables the connector to absorb vibrations,
accommodate misalignment, and compensate for thermal
expansion and contraction in the piping system
Reinforced Layers: Union type flexible pipe connectors
often incorporate multiple layers of rubber or elastomer
reinforced with fabric or metal inserts to enhance strength
and durability. The reinforced layers help withstand high
pressure,
temperature, and mechanical stress conditions, ensuring
long-term
performance and reliability.
Corrosion Resistance: The materials used in union type
flexible pipe connectors are selected for their resistance to
corrosion, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions.
This ensures the connectors remain intact and maintain
their sealing
properties over time, even in corrosive environments.
Leak-Proof Seals: The union connection is designed to
provide a tight and leak-proof seal between the connector
and the adjacent piping or equipment. This prevents fluid
leakage, minimizes downtime, and helps maintain the integrity of the piping
system.

Reinforcement: Nylon cord fabric
Pressurized Ring: Steel Wire Strand
Flanges:
•Forged Steel, Threaded to BS 21. NPT on request Epoxy
powder coated for corrosion resistance
•Nut and bolts electro-galvanized,floating triangular thread
design

•Inlet and outlet of fan coil Units, Air Handling Units, Chillers,
and Condensers.
•Air Suction and discharge of pumps.
•Intervals in Chilled water piping.
•Installation of flexible Pipe Connectors is
recommended to allow for axial pipe
movement due to thermal expansion or
contraction, thereby protecting the building structure from
damaging stress. These
connectors also help to isolate the low and high-frequency
vibration transmitted through pipe walls.
•The triangular flange design offers much better
reliability, safety, and convenience as compared to union-type
connectors.
•Allows for both Axial and Horizontal movement.
•Unique pressurized steel wire strand for additional safety.
