Plumbing/Piping Accessories

Metraflex

Metraflex Metraloop Expansion joint

Sizes: 1/2″ to 36″ any weldable/brazeable end connections

There’s no limit to the thermal applications that Metraloop can handle. It can even be designed with lined hose for high velocity, double-braid for high pressures, and all stainless-steel construction for media compatibility. Available with +/- 1.5” movement or +/- 4” movement standard. The Metraloop is the ultimate expansion joint accounting for movement in every direction and minimizing thrust and anchor loads, it is ultra-flexible and comes in a large variety of stock and custom configurations.

Metraflex Vane Flex Pump Connector

Sizes: 2″ to 14″ reducing and 90 deg Elbow configurations available

New Vane Flex™ dramatically reduces pump turbulence and improves flow of engineered piping system. Combining hydrodynamic-shaped vanes with a flexible pump connector, the Vane Flex maintains the full range of movement of a standard flexible connector, yet, at the same time and in the same space as a standard connector, provides better flow-straightening than a length of pipe equivalent to 5-to-10 diameters.

Metraflex Suction Diffuser Flex Pump Connector

Sizes: 2″ to 14″ reducing and 90 deg Elbow configurations available

The Suction Diffuser Flex Technology consists of a specially designed set of stationary vanes placed upstream of an elbow. The Suction Diffuser Flex imparts to the fluid a gyroscopic motion, which counteracts the elbow induced motion, enabling the fluid to negotiate the turn uniformly and exit with a flat velocity profile. Guaranteed measurable improved pump performance. Reduced pump vibration and wear, maximizing pump operating life and helping reduce pump maintenance.

Metraflex LPD

Sizes: 2-1/2″ – 12″

The new LPD Y Strainer provides significant energy savings over the old Y strainer. Has a lower pressure drop.

Metraflex MLP

Sizes: 2-1/2″ – 12″

Max intermittent offset from centerline is 3/4″ and max permanent offset from centerline is 1″. Carbon steel flanges. Corrugated hose & braid is 300 series stainless steel.

Metraflex Doublesphere

Sizes: 2″ – 12″

This rubber expansion joint has an unique shape and longer length increases acoustic resistance and dampens hydraulic surge and shock. Options include EPDM, Neoprene, Butyl, Nitrile, & Hypalon.
