ELBOW CONNECTORS | ||||||||||||

E-FLEX elbow connector completely solves the vibratory |
|
|||||||||||
directional problem at the pumps or any other location where | ||||||||||||
the piping must make a right angle turn as it leaves the | ||||||||||||
equipment.The E-FLEX neoprene elbow accepts motion in all | ||||||||||||
modes without difficulty as the sphere is at the curvature of the | ||||||||||||
connector and the flow through length is even longer than the | ||||||||||||
twin sphere.Rather than taking additional space or using | ||||||||||||
additional fittings, the elbow joint actually substitutes for the | ||||||||||||
cast welded elbow that would ordinarily have to be used | ||||||||||||
anyway.The cost of E-FLEX rubber bellow is comparable to the | ||||||||||||
steel it replaces and certainly less than the cost of a steel | ||||||||||||
elbow plus a straight line connector.When E-FLEX rubber | ||||||||||||
elbows are used the pump foundation need no longer be made | ||||||||||||
large enough to support the base elbows and this reduces the | ||||||||||||
cost of the foundation.Because the piping must be properly | ||||||||||||
supported from above rather than rest on the pump | ||||||||||||
foundation,there is better chance that the pump foundation can | ||||||||||||
operate properly.The reduced foundation weight is often | ||||||||||||
important in lightweight equipment rooms as well. | ||||||||||||
