FLEXONICS EXPANSION COMPENSATORS FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
Model L for pressures to 60 psig
Flexonics Model L Expansion Compensators offer a remarkably simple, sure, and low-cost way to take up pipe and tubing expansion in low-pressure steam and hot water heating systems. Engineered to outlast the building, with 2-ply phosphor bronze Flexonics Bel lows, drawn brass protective shroud, copper tubing ends. Specially designed for use with finned convectors, baseboard systems,-radiators, and supply and return lines.
Sizes from V< in. through 2 in. Suitable for tempera tures from --60 F to 250 F, and for pressures up to 60 psig, A single unit will handle motion up to Vs in. {Yt in. compression, Ys in. extension). Sweat tubing ends are standard; female threaded adapters are available.
Model H for pressures to 175 psig
Flexonics Model H Expansion Compensators, inch for inch, are the lowest-cost way to absorb pipe motion. Designed primarily for risers in high pressure steam and hot water heating systems, but .with wide applica tion in all kinds of piping jobs. 2-ply stainless steel Flexonics Bellows. Welded steel housing. Also Model HS (all stainless steel) and Model HB (all bronze).
Sizes in. through 3 in., with screw, weld, union, or flanged ends (also sweat.ends in bronze). For tempera tures from --60 F to 750 F. Each unit handies motion up to 2 in. (IYa in. compression, V* in. extension.) Engi neered to outlast the piping system you install it in.
Table below gives data for Models H and HS Ex pansion Compensators. Model HB is made in same nominal sizes, for somewhat lower pressures.
