Specifications

Significant cost and safety benefits found in Pacific Hoseflex seismic expansion joints.
•   It is an inexpensive alternative to dual-tied bellows expansion joints and especially ball joints.
•   During an earthquake, it protects equipment by allowing boilers, chillers, fan-coil units and other systems to move independently of the building, Hospitals, high rises and commercial plumping applications.
•   Installed at the connection also prevents nozzles from cracking or shearing off.
•   A break in the gas pipe work could start a fire, which can of course be devastating. This Australian Gas Approval (AGA) certified seismic expansion joint will compensate for the movement that occurs during any seismic activity such as an earthquake.
•   Watermark Approved. (Available On Request)
