VIP stainless steel pump flexible connectors are designed for installation onto vibrating equipment to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration to the attached pipeline system.
They are designed for use when the system pressure, temperature or flow media is unsuitable for the use of rubber pump flexible connectors. All stainless steel to wetted parts with loose swivel plated carbon steel PN16 flanges.
VIP stainless steel pump flexible connectors should not be used at both their maximum working temperature and pressure simultaneously.
VIP PN16 Flanged Stainless Steel Tied Pump Flexible Connectors
The VIP PN16 flanged stainless steel tied pump flexible connectors are designed to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration from pumps and vibrating equipment into connected pipework. Their flexible stainless steel bellows construction makes them suitable for applications where operating pressure, temperature or the fluid being conveyed makes a rubber flexible connector unsuitable.
Featuring twin-ply stainless steel bellows, Van Stone ends and PN16 carbon steel flanges fitted with pressure-restraining tie rods, these connectors provide a robust flexible connection for compatible heating, water and industrial systems.

Installation Guidance
These connectors are designed to absorb vibration and should not be subjected to lateral or axial loading. Ensure the selected connector is suitable for the system’s pressure, temperature and operating medium. Maximum working pressure and maximum working temperature must not be applied simultaneously.
Confirm the appropriate washer type and installation requirements against the manufacturer’s datasheet before specifying or installing.
