KEFLEX QUADRA-SIDE EXPANSION COMPENSATORS
FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
KEFLEX Type 7 Q and 7Q-T packless type, expansion compensators are designed to compensate tor both expansion and contraction in low or high temperature heat
ing supply lines as well as for ho tube baseboard radiators and convectors-
1 Type 7 Q has square brass ends with female tapered pipe threads. Type 7Q-T has female copper tube ends for soldering to copper pipe.

TYPE QAB ANCHOR BASE ONLY '
The force to compress KEFLEX Quadra-Side Compensators is less than 100 lb; Standard units will accommodate a total traverse of 2 in.; IK *n- *n compression and X in. in extension. Units for traverse in compression of $ in., 2 in. and 3 in. are available with proportionate extension. Made in sizes % in. through 3 in.
All KEFLEX Quadra-Side Compensators are provided with a removable screw, set for the indicated traverse in compression.
KEFLEX TYPE HQ-T QUADRA-SIDE EXPANSION COMPENSATORS
USED WITH CONVECTOR AND FIN TUBE BASEBOARD RADIATION UNITS IN SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, OFFICES AND COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS
KEFLEX Type UQ-T, packless type, expansion compensators are designed for use in low pressure heating systems where maximum test pressures do not exceed 150 psig. They will compensate for expansion id compression up to X in. and K la in extension--1* total traverse to 1 in.
The bellows section, made from Type 321 or 347 stainless steel, is enclosed in a square brass case which slides over a square guide to provide positive protection against torsion, squirm and external damage during installation. Sizes: % in., I in., in., I% in. and 2 in. Maximum Working Pressure 100 psig. Maximum Tem' per&ture 300 F.

KEFLEX. TYPE QAB INTERMEDIATE ANCHOR BRACKET
Type QAB is a heavy bronze bracket for use with KEFLEX Type 7 Q Dual Expan sion Compensators as an Intermediate Anchor. The bracket is provided with two holes to facilitate attaching to floor, wall or ceiling. A set screw cinches the bracket tightly to the 7 Q unit and limits the movement to each individual compensator. Suggested for use in long runs of fin tube piping where lines should be segmented between the main.anchors.

KEFLEX VIBRATION ABSORBERS
The high flexibility of KEFLEX Vibration Absorbers makes them extremely suitable to absorb vibration from pumps chillers,
and compressors. Keflex Vibration Absorbers are packless type as they have a bellows made from laminated stainless steel tvue

They may also be used as tow pressure expansion joints f75 psig) where axial movements of H in. in compression and H in in extension are desired. A lateral movement of H in. is also obtainable. The close face to face or overall length measurement permits their use in very close quarters where longer lengths of flexible hose would be impracticable
KEFLEX Type 301 Vibration Absorbers are designed for higher pressure service than Type 151, or Type 71. Reinforcements have been added to wittetand pressures over 150 psig. A liner is not standard equipment but is available if required. Dual units with long spacer nipple for lateral movement or correction of misalignment are furnished to specification.
Type 7l-21V.is fitted with carbon steel mechanical flanges having special elongated . . . bolt holes on series 15 bolt circle. Keflex reattachable flanges may be applied jobsite
in making emergency repairs.
Type 151 is fitted with either carbon steel weld ends or 150 lb type rigid flanges having special elongated bolt holes on a series 15 bolt circle to permit easy installation. Type 301 is furnished with either carbon steel weld ends or 150 lb type lap joint flanges; 300 lb type flanges are also available.
