Single Arch Threaded Ends SAFEflexÒ SFU Spherical moulded rubber expansion joints are entirely different. There is no wire reinforcement in the body, and the pressure is retained by the tire cord spanning across the body from anchors in each flange. They are very similar to truck tyres without the tread.
Our exclusive solid flange ring is clamped in place by the steel back up flanges. The built in ring prevents the rubber end pulling out of the retention flange.
These are manufactured as a series in single and double spheres, as well as concentric reducers. In the sizes through 2" they are built with screw on flanges. Since these connectors are moulded, there is a limitation on size, and face to face dimensions are fixed.
