PE socket type ductile iron ball joint "PE Bender"

Seismic isolation joints that protect lifelines! Absorbing local displacements with joints!

The "PE Bender" is a ball-shaped flexible joint made of ductile cast iron that incorporates polyethylene pipes through a unique assembly technique, combining toughness and flexibility. Its simple integrated structure without bolts, which consolidates the achievements and know-how of the ball-shaped flexible expansion pipe "Flex Bender," excels in water tightness and durability, making it ideal for seismic piping systems. The ball section adopts the know-how of the "Flex Bender," which has a disengagement resistance of 3DkN, and the polyethylene pipe integrated into the ball section demonstrates outstanding strength without any disconnection or leakage, even under severe testing conditions.

basic information

【Features】 ○ The ball section rotates 360°, absorbing stress even when twisting forces are applied to the piping. → No burden on the piping. ○ The ball section bends, absorbing local displacement on the piping with the joint and relieving stress. ○ The ball section allows for angle adjustments of up to 20° (for a nominal diameter of 75mm). → Angles can be freely adjusted over short spans. → When combined with the natural bending of polyethylene pipes, layout flexibility is enhanced. ○ Polyethylene pipes can be integrated using EF joints. ○ In addition to flanges and K shapes, it also accommodates GX shapes. → Easy connection between ductile cast iron pipes and polyethylene pipes. ○ A type with dual PE insertion ports for polyethylene pipes (PEB-PP) is available. → Can be integrated with pipes using EF joints, demonstrating excellent seismic resistance. → The PE bender absorbs and relieves stress on the piping, reducing the burden on the pipes. → Contributes to longer service life. ● For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
