Product Description

  • Sizes 1 1/2″ through 24″
  • Design Conditions: full vacuum to 150 & 300 psig at 500F
  • Compact design with maximum flexibility and extended life
  • Designed specifically to isolate and protect mechanical equipment

Series 5500 Bellows Pump Connectors are designed for installation adjacent to mechanical equipment to isolate vibration, absorb small pipe movements and to provide flexibility during installation. The bellows element is laminated (3 ply minimum) for maximum flexibility and fatigue resistance. Standard configurations include integral full thrust limit rods to react the full pressure thrust or compression for vacuum conditions.

Technology & Advantages

Common Applications

Bellows pump connectors are designed to connect rigid piping to mechanical equipment that has thermal growth or mechanical movement. Although limit rods are an integral part of the design to prevent over extension or compression, these rods should be loose for full benefit. The rigid anchor shown in the illustration must be capable of reacting the pressure thrust and the spring force of the bellows.

Design Data

Note:
(1) Overall length is measured from flange face to flange to flange face including the van stone for Type 5502R.
(2) Maximum outside diameter – includes limit rod lug attachments.
(3) Type 5506R is available rated for full vacuum to 150 psig at 500°F as a replacement for rubber expansion joints, nominal sizes 2” through 14”. Sizes 2” through 8” are 6.0” overall length and sizes 10” through 14” are 8” overall length. All other dimensions and performance data are the same as Type 5502R.
