Sphere 4" Style R-150# flg-Drilled-NN
Description
- Withstands up to 225 psi and temperatures up to 230°F
- Ideal for pump installations
The Sphere is the most widely applied expansion joint/flexible connector in the industry today. It provides the greatest combination of pressure/temperature ratings and movement at a very reasonable cost. The Sphere also helps control pulsation shocks and noise transmission. The arch is self-cleaning, thus eliminating the need for a filled arch when solids are present in the stream.
Constructed of neoprene and nylon, the spherical shape allows pressure to exert itself uniformly in all directions, thus reducing the force exerted on pipelines and equipment. Bias-ply tire cord provides strength, a high safety factor, and low force to move. Precision molding provides a dense, uniform carcass. Solid plate steel flanges grip the sealing area to provide a fluid tight connection. Flanges are drilled to mate with 150# companion flanges. Flanges rotate around the body for easy installation. Flanges with tapped holes are readily available at no extra charge.
Our stock Sphere connectors have a Neoprene tube and cover. Other combinations of liner and cover materials, including EPDM, Butyl and Nitrile, are available in sizes up to 20". Use control rods to prevent excessive elongation in installations where the pipeline is not secured.
Note: Control rod kits are recommended for all installations.
