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.

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.
