Kurbo - Model Type 80 -Rubber Flexible Hose Connectors
Kurbo rubber flexible hose connectors replace metal pipe and are used where a flexible connection is essential and also are used in lines requiring resistance to electrolysis, corrosion, abrasion and severe water hammering. They are also found in piping systems that require noise and vibration isolation and absorption of lateral deflection and flexing caused by thermal changes.
Construction
Flexible hose body integral with rubber/fabric flange and steel retaining rings. In tough design, extra thick fabric in body and locking flange in rubber flange. Smooth and seamless rubber tube, pressure-vacuum resistant high tensile fabric and evenly spaced heavy duty spiral spring wire reinforcements, tough abrasion and weather resistant rubber cover corrugated for kink resistance.
Wide Range of Pressure Rating and Size
Kurbo flexible hose connectors are individually designed to have pressure ratings high enough to handle most demanding applications in a very large diameter. Kurbo supply technically superior solutions which are suitable for a wide range of working pressures and all loads.
Movement
Type 80 hose connectors are suitable only for absorption of lateral and minor angular movement. They are not designed to absorb extension, compression axially. For these purposes, use other arch type expansion joints.
