SINGLE SPHERE FLANGED

RUBBER FLEXIBLE JOINT (KVS 500-F)

PRODUCT FEATURES

KVS 500-F single sphere flexible connectors prevent stresses due to expansion and contraction, isolate
against the transfer of noise and vibration, and compensate for misalignment, reduce objectionable noise
and vibration in piping systems connected to pumps, compressors and similar pulsating 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.

APPLICATION

Single sphere flanged flexible connectors eliminate stresses caused by changes 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 sides of pumps, and header connections.
