Description Kinflex Flexible Connectors prevent stresses due to expansion and contraction of piping, isolate against the transfer of noise ‘and vibret on, and compensate for misalignment. Kinflex connectors absorb the continuing movement ‘experienced in piping systems because of varying ambient temperatures, differences in temperature of materials being handled, end differences in composition. The danger of buckling 6 pulling apart and resulting maintenance costs are eliminated. Connectors reduce objectionable noise and vibration in piping ‘systems connected in pumps, compressors, and similar pulsat- ing equipment. The transmission of noise and vibration tends to reduce the efficiency of adjacent equipment as well as impairing the working conditions in offices and factories. Settlemend, load stresses, and wearing of parts frequently ‘cause piping and mechanical equipment to move out of normal alignment. Kinflex Flexible Connectors compensate for these lateral, tcrsional, and angular movements Applications Air Conditioning, Heating, and Ventilating Systems: Kinflex Flexible Connectors eliminate stresses caused by chang- € in temperature and piping misalignment, as well as reduce the transmission of noise and vibration. They are used on both hot and chilled water circulation lines, suction and discharge ssides of pumps, and header connections. Industriat: One of the most significant uses for Kinflex Flexible Connectors is in industrial piping installations to compensate for, the thermal expansion and contraction of the pipe. Power Plants: Because of the ability of the Kinflex Flexible Connectors to adjust to all kinds of movement, they can be used in power olants for condenser connections, auxiliary exhaust lines, and connections to air ejectors, Marine Systems: Kinflex Flexible Connectors isolate marine systems against the transmission of noise and vibration and eliminate the destructive action of electrolysis. They are used on suction and discharge sides of circulating water-cooling ‘systems and air intake lines on diesel engines. ‘Sewage Treatment Plants and Pollution Control: Kinflex Flexible Connectors are used extensively in sewage water treatment-plants and pollution-control systems. ao Ho Qi 0.

When used in this manner, control unit assemblies are an additional safety factor, minimizing possible failure of the expansion joint or damage to the equip- ment, 4. Anchored Systems: Control rod assemblies are not required in piping systems that are anchored on both sides of the connector provided piping movements are within the rated movements, 2. Unanchored Systems: Control rod assemblies are always recommended in unanchored systems and when the maximum pressure and movement exceeds the rated limit. 3, Spring-Mounted Equipment: Control rod assemblies are always recommended for spring-mounted equipment when the maximum pressure and move- ment exceed the rated limit, FC (U6 bar) FC-H (25 bar) FTC (16 bar) FTC-H (25 bar)MODEL UTC TWIN SPHERE CONNECTOR WITH UNION ENDS pawees eer | etl waa Brret| goemigy | BOERS [osc See ee ee Ge eB a9) 08s — ao 6] fas | 80m) [oars — ex | oat er] ey r Operating Conditions: UTC/UTC WITH CONTROL CABLES ? ie a ao oso & ‘eee —— [aoe vre Ban) ieee — [See UTC WITH CONTROL CABLES (10 BAR) ° MODEL USC-H HIGH PRESSURE SINGLE SPHERE THREADED CONNECTORS 712188) | 851 ie pose 2 (eo) 72 (as) 0st) | 018 6) ‘Cperaing Canciones | USEH(IB)——|—USENTaS) ‘OperingPressre | 28 pig (6RPEREN) 360 pag akerSsem) Bust Pressure | 682 pg 46KGSaen) 853 psig OKSeem) eum Rag | en eg Tonpertire [ASC 1S 15S Sa MODEL UTC-H HIGH PRESSURE TWIN SPHERE THREADED CONNECTORS fonase |e |aafls| gain, | TORE ce ea me | ee, | ER SS a nee eee eee NORMSZE | LENGTH | coupaesson | evocation | TUMEMENT | peRecrION ‘ te. tera] trod om) | nto | in rm | ia (@) 7 (| 338 no) 35805) aa a +) t 8) [ea (08) er (2) 98) | Oso 16) | 03) os) \ ra (s8)|W6 —1aes) [USB (5) [Osa 0) | O85) | ar lo 7 2 (eo) 10 assy} 058 (15) | 089 co) | 088 C18 a UTC-H (25 BAR) - Tenpare—(A8C~ NSC | 160-156 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION TOT GSE) Parts ‘Material 1 Thweaded Union ‘Matesbe ron (UTC), Ductile ron (USC-HAUTE-H 2.
