Gold and Silver Series Braided Flexible Pump Connectors Industry StandardFor Vibration Absorption and the Elimination of Piping Stress on Pumps Gold Series Braided Pump ConnectorsKeflex Gold Series KSSPC braided flexible pump connectors are 100% American manufactured from stainless steel annular corrugated metal hose surrounded with a tight-weave heavy-duty wire braid of high tensile stainless steel. This combination provides a highly flexible braided pump connector with a longer service life than lighter duty type connectors. The Keflex Gold Series KSSPC, which has higher pressure and temperature capabilities, can absorb pump vibration and noise and reduce piping stress due to minor misalignment and pressure variations. The reduction of stress on pumps and compressor housings can greatly reduce long-term operation and maintenance cost. Standard end fittings for Keflex Gold Series KSSPC units are carbon steel male nipples for sizes 12 through 2. Sizes 2 and larger have standard carbon steel plate flanges (58 minimum thickness) with ASA 150# bolt hole patterns. Other fittings and lengths are available upon request. These assemblies are intended for normal to severe pump vibrations. Misalignment should not exceed 18 total. Maximum operating temperature is 1000 F. For higher pressures or temperatures, consult our engineering department. For greater offset or lateral movements, use Keflex KFCS series flexible connectors. The Keflex Gold Series KSSPC braided flexible pump connector is the highest-performing braided pump connector available in the industry. Sold exclusively through our manufacturing representatives, we challenge any other standard braided pump connector to outperform it in noise or vibration absorption, pressure-carrying capacity and overall cycle life.

Maximum vibration absorptionLongest cycle lifeSoft spring rateEase of installation and maximum safety Stainless Steel Pump Connector Keflex Bellows-Type Pump Connectors are designed to compensate for multi-plane axial, lateral and angular movement in non-torsional applications. They are intended for use in both suction and pressure lines to absorb mechanical vibrations caused by pumps, compressors and other pipeline equipment. Bellows-Type Pump Connectors aid in compensating for minor piping misalignment. Heavy-duty restraining rods and spacers assure protection against bellows distortion in the event anchors are not properly secured. Keflex shatter-proof spacers absorb mechanical vibration without hampering axial, lateral or angular movement of the pump connector. Multi-ply bellows were pioneered by Keflex. Our standard product has a minimum of four (4) plies, but the larger diameter models are constructed with up to sixteen (16) plies. Most of the bellows-type pump connectors provided by competitors are produced "offshore" with only one (1) or two (2) plies. Unlike rubber and elastomeric connectors, multi-ply laminated stainless steel bellows capsules are not subject to premature deterioration resulting from elevated temperature conditions or UV exposure. Thus, they offer a longer cycle life in a wide variety of temperature applications ranging from sub-zero to super-heated steam. In the latter case, it may be necessary to include the optional internal liner to prevent excessive flow velocity from damaging the assembly. (Available on welded-flange units only) Standard units are designed for a total axial traverse of 58 (12 compression, 18 extension), a total lateral movement of 18 (116 each side of centerline), and an angular offset of 3-12 degrees maximum. Custom-built assemblies are available to meet conditions beyond these specifications. Flanged-type series 150, 151 and 301-1215 assemblies from 2 to 12 ID measure a compact 5.0 face-to-face to save valuable space. Sizes of 14 ID and up measure 9.0 face-to-face. Custom lengths are always available. Welded flange-types 1512 and 3012 are 6 face-to-face OAL for sizes up to and including 8. They are intended as replacements for short-style braided metal hose, rubber and elastomeric spool type expansion joints. For sizes 10 and larger, the standard OAL is 8 face-to-face. Lengths other than standard are available upon request.
