Rubber Expansion Joints

At Pacific Hoseflex, we offer a range of high-quality rubber expansion joints, also known as rubber bellows, suitable for various applications. Trust us for reliable rubber expansion joints and experience the difference in quality and performance.

Versatile and Stable Rubber Expansion Joints

When you’re seeking impressive stability, resilience and pressure capacity, rubber expansion bellows act as versatile connectors for both suction and delivery applications in industrial settings.

Pacific Hoseflex’s Rubber Expansion Joints are available in sizes ranging from 32 mm to +1000 mm, with a diverse selection of flange drillings and materials. The bellows are available in materials including EPDM, Neoprene, Viton, Hypalon and natural rubber.

Widely used in heating, air conditioning, marine, and sewage systems, they facilitate essential motion and flexibility in piping systems, proving indispensable in shipboard piping, sewage treatment, and air scrubber applications.

Effective Noise and Vibration Mitigation

Rubber Expansion Joints also play a crucial role in nuclear and fossil fuel plants, compensating for thermal expansion and contraction in condensate lines, steam turbine exhaust lines, and cooling water systems.

They are effective at mitigating noise and vibration, acting as shock absorbers in pumps and centrifuges. Their ability to manage thermal movement ensures that piping stress is alleviated, while advanced reinforcement techniques enhance their resistance to vacuum forces, making them reliable solutions for diverse industrial ducting systems and marine environments.
