Medical gas tubing U-FLEX

flexible

• The U-Flex Hoses are generally used in four types of applications: • To correct problems of misalignment • To provide flexibility in manual handling operations • To compensate for intermittent or constant movement • To absorb vibration • In all of these types, careful hose selection, design of the assembly, and installation are important for optimal service life. The flexibility of a hose is determined by its mechanical design and the inherent flexibility of its material. “U” Design Variety of sizes & end fitting combinations Nested configurations Maximum vibration absorption Benefits: Compensates for offset, lateral and axial motion Saves space Meets most installation requirements Simplifies protection of multi-pipe runs Seismic protection of equipment & piping The U-Flex Hoses are extremely critical accessories and used for protecting vital installations such as medical gas systems from seismic motion like earthquakes. This Seismic Connection Hoses provide flexibility to piping systems and used to absorb possible seismic movements in three axis. In addition to seismic protection, installation cost is lower comparing to conventional expansion joints considering lesser need for space and fixing points and ability for nested installations. Comparing to use expansion joints and conventional piping to absorb vibrations, imposing lesser load to main pipeline is one of their significant advantages. Braided flexible hoses are consist of two parallel sections of braided bronze hose, a 180 degree return bend, with inlet and outlet 90 degree elbow connections. The hoses are engineered to move in all three planes, and is impart no thrust loads to system anchors.
