General service expansion joint for high pressure applications

GARFLEX® expansion joints feature rugged yet flexible nylon tire cord reinforcement in a molded, spherical bellows design that ensures exceptional burst pressure ratings. The streamlined flowing arch design reduces turbulence and allows smooth, quiet flow without the restricted movement you'll find with a filled arch design. 

Regional Availability Restrictions: 
Not available in Europe

BENEFITS

  • Flowing arch design prevents sediment buildup and reduces turbulence.
  • The nylon reinforcement provides the support needed for higher pressure applications without sacrificing flexibility.
  • Floating flanges can be rotated to accommodate torsional misalignment.
  • Can be installed against flat or raised face pipe flanges without the need for gaskets or spacers.
