FF/SS Single Sphere Nylon reinforced Neoprene flex connectors and
FF/DS Double Sphere Nylon reinforced Neoprene flex connectors are designed to isolate noise and vibration in piping systems. Mechanical equipment can be installed on bases that isolate this noise and vibration from the structure, but flexible connectors are required to isolate that noise and vibration from the piping system.
Spherical rubber connectors effectively dampen noise and vibration, absorb axial compression and extension, and accommodate lateral and angular movement. They are most effective when installed parallel to the rotating shaft of equipment. If the piping is not anchored and supported, control units MUST BE installed to prevent hyper-extension of the connector due to system pressure thrust. Neoprene spherical connectors are the most widely applied expansion joint / flexible connector used by the industry and in HVAC piping systems. The rotating steel plate flanges ease installation, and the spherical shape of the connector is self-cleaning and applies the system pressure in all directions, reducing the force exerted on piping and equipment.
