EMFLEX
twin sphere rubber flexible connectors are
comprised of a twin sphere or double bubble synthetic
rubber membrane reinforced with nylon. The collars are
wire reinforced and the unit is complete with galvanised
or stainless steel female unions. They are capable o
f
absorbing
movement in several directions; axial
compression, axial elongation and lateral deflection.
A
small amount of angular movement may also be
allowed. They are normally installed in the pipework to
isolate various items of plant which produce noise and
vibration. These flexible connectors effectively dampen
the transmission of sound and vibration from plant items
in building services installations.
Type TS
EPDM rubber membrane reinforced with a nylon textile
cord and fitted with stainless steel female unions. Suitable
for use on copper pipework.
Type
TSN
EPDM rubber membrane reinforced with a nylon textile
cord and fitted with galvanised female unions. Suitable
for steel pipework.

Working Pressure:
Maximum Working Pressure: 6 bar
Test Pressure: 1.5 x Working Pressure.
Working Temperature: -10°C to 90
°C
Design Consideration:
Rubber flexible connectors are subjected to the same
internal pressure force as metal expansion joints and that
the same force is equal to the internal pressure multiplied
by the maximum internal area.
