Externally Pressurized Expansion Joints
In a critical application, multiple expansion joints can, in most cases, preclude a catastrophic failure. If a failure occurs in one ply due to corrosion or fatigue, the intact plies will work as a protective barrier. It will contain the pressure and the medium until a replacement can be made.

Gold and Silver Braided Flexible Pump Connectors
The Keflex Gold Series braided flexible pump connectors are 100% American manufactured. It can
absorb pump vibration, noise and reduce piping stress. This can be due to minor misalignment and
pressure variations. The reduction of stress on pumps and compressor housings can greatly reduce
long-term operation and maintenance cost.

L, U, and V Flex Loops
These Expansion loops allow for random and unpredictable seismic movements. Overall perfect for high-pressure systems. Flex Loops protect and increase the longevity of the piping equipment by reducing and/or eliminating stress and strain.

Rubber Expansion Joints
Rubber expansion joints are offered from Flex-Weld, Inc. / Keflex in standard or custom designs.They have a wider array of material and configuration types for rubber expansion joints. Keflex products are designed and engineered to carry a variety of media in pressure or vacuum applications. They absorb destructive system vibration and will contract or expand in response to pipe motion induced by thermal expansion and contraction.

Multi-Ply Stainless Steel Bellows-Type Flexible Pump Connectors
Keflex Bellows-Type Pump Connectors are designed to compensate for multi-plane axial, lateral and angular movement in non-torsional applications. They are intended for use in both suction and pressure lines to absorb mechanical vibrations. These vibrations can be caused by pumps, compressors, and other pipeline equipment. Bellows-Type Pump Connectors aid in compensating for minor piping misalignment.

Pipe Guides
Keflex products perform under the most demanding conditions and their service record is impeccable.
Keflex pipe guides are designed to ensure positive pipe alignment. This is done by restricting lateral pipe
movement while allowing for movement along the axis of the pipe. |
