Braided Loop Expansion Joints U-Flex, V-Flex

Braided Loop Expansion Joints (U-Flex-V-Flex)

• U-Flex and V-Flex assemblies provide highly flexible and reliable connection features for fre protection lines, seismic security areas, dilatation points and industrial applications.
• These assemblies are used to absorb the movements caused by the potential break downs and depressions especially where the seismic movements may cause hazardous results.
• U-Flex and V-Flex assemblies that are manufactured with FM certifcate prevent the structural deformations such as cracks and break downs of rigid.
• Connections by the required flexibility they provide and offer easy, safe and reliable installation features for the users.

Design

• U-Flex and V-Flex assemblies are consisted of the parallel corrugated metal hose with braiding and Carbon Steel connection and direction parts likewise turns and elbows at various angles.
• Flexible metal hose provides high movement capacity in all directions to the assemblies and the braiding increases the pressure resistance accordingly.
