Flexible Pump Connectors
- Threaded, grooved, or flanged connections
- Reduces noise transfer
- Rated for air, water and steam use
These connectors are typically made up of corrugated stainless steel hose with a stainless steel braid overlay, available in a range of lengths and connection sizes and types. They are most often used to reduce noise transfer between vibration sources and the rest of the system, and/or to overcome alignment issues.

How do flexible pump connectors work?
The braided connectors cannot compress or extend, and therefore do not compensate for most thermal expansions. The most popular end fittings are carbon steel flanges and male thread ends on small diameters, but grooved ends and others are available. A floating flange on one end can help with installation on long connectors. No control units or tie rods are needed with these connectors because the braiding prevents thrust loads from being transferred to nozzles and anchors.
