Rubber Expansion Joints By Unaflex®

 

UNASPHERE STYLE 800
 Rubber Expansion Joints

 The Unasphere is precision molded of neoprene and nylon. It requires less force to move than conventional expansion joints allowing maximum deflection, elongation, and compression. The Unasphere will minimize water hammer or hydraulic shock in any system. #150 ASA drilled flanges.

 Strength and Efficiency. The Unasphere design is inherently stronger than other configurations because of its spherical shape. Pressure exerts itself evenly in all directions and so distributes the forces evenly over a large area. The streamlined, flowing arch reduces turbulence and allows smooth, quiet flow. Sediment cannot build up; therefore there is no need to fill the arch and thus restrict its movements. All Joints rated for 26"hg vacuum and 225 psi w.p. except 14"which is rated for 115 psi.

Available to 24" diameter
