Product Description
A Twin Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint with female NPT threaded unions, made of neoprene, for noise/vibration isolation is a flexible piping connector designed to reduce the transfer of movement, vibration, and sound between connected pipe sections or equipment.
Key features
- Twin sphere design
- The two-arch or twin-sphere body provides greater flexibility than a single-sphere style.
- Helps absorb:
- vibration from pumps, compressors, and mechanical equipment
- minor pipe misalignment
- thermal expansion and contraction
- pressure pulsation and shock
- Rubber construction: neoprene
- Neoprene offers good resistance to:
- water
- mild chemicals
- oils and grease to a limited degree
- weathering and ozone
- Commonly selected for general industrial, HVAC, and water service applications.
- Neoprene offers good resistance to:
- Female NPT threaded unions
- Threaded end connections allow straightforward installation into threaded piping systems.
- Female NPT unions simplify assembly and removal for maintenance or replacement.
- Best suited for smaller pipe sizes where threaded connections are standard.
- Noise and vibration isolation
- The elastomer body helps dampen mechanical vibration before it travels into the piping system or building structure.
- Can reduce noise generated by rotating equipment and fluid turbulence.
- Often installed near:
- pumps
- chillers
- air handlers
- compressors
- circulation equipment
Typical benefits
- Protects piping and connected equipment from stress
- Extends service life of pumps, valves, and fittings
- Reduces transmission of structure-borne noise
- Compensates for small movements in multiple directions
- Helps improve system reliability and maintenance access
Typical application note
This type of expansion joint is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, water circulation, and light industrial piping systems where a compact, flexible connector is needed and threaded pipe connections are preferred.
