Braided Pipe Connectors
Our braided connectors are engineered to protect your piping systems from the stress caused by machinery. They are installed at the inlet and outlet of equipment such as pumps and compressors to absorb vibration, noise, and movement before it can cause damage.
What They Do for Your System
These connectors provide critical functions to improve system integrity and longevity.
- Control Vibration & Noise: They act as a damper, isolating the vibrations from heavy machinery so they don’t transfer to the rigid piping.
- Relieve Stress: Pipes expand and contract with temperature changes. These flexible joints absorb that thermal movement, preventing stress fractures and fatigue.
- Prevent System Shock: They cushion the system against sudden pressure surges, such as water hammer, protecting valves, meters, and other sensitive components.
- Compensate for Misalignment: When pipes don’t align perfectly, these connectors provide the necessary flexibility to bridge small lateral offsets, simplifying installation and preventing connection strain.
Industries & Applications
Our connectors are specified for use in a wide range of demanding environments such as:
- HVAC
- Power Generation
- Chemical Processing
- Water & Wastewater
- Data Centers
- Marine/Shipping
Common Applications: Inlet and outlet connections for pumps, compressors, chillers, and fluid or hot water lines.
Featured Product: Series 6201
The Series 6201 is our standard, high-performance flexible metal pump connector, available with flange or grooved ends to match standard piping connections. The connector is built to handle various fluids and temperatures using robust materials including stainless steel, bronze, and carbon steel.
