Metraflex DSEE0400 Pipe Fitting
The Metraflex DSEE0400 is an industrial-grade 4-inch Double Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint engineered to isolate vibration and accommodate significant thermal movement in hydronic and process piping systems. This flexible connector features a high-grade EPDM body reinforced with nylon cord, making it suitable for water and glycol applications where corrosion resistance is vital. The dual-sphere geometry provides superior flexibility and a lower spring rate compared to single-sphere models, effectively reducing piping stress on pumps and sensitive equipment.
Designed with 4" 150# plate flanges, the DSEE0400 is built for easy installation between companion flanges with drilled bolt holes. With a 9-inch face-to-face dimension, this unit excels in noise reduction by breaking the transmission of mechanical sound through the pipe wall. Technicians should note that while the EPDM tube and cover handle temperatures up to 230°F, control units are recommended if the piping system is not properly anchored and guided to prevent over-extension under pressure.
Key Benefits for Your Installation:- Enhanced Movement Capacity: The double-sphere design handles greater axial compression, elongation, and lateral offset than standard connectors.
- Superior Vibration Dampening: Specifically tuned to neutralize pump vibration and harmonic disturbances in commercial HVAC systems.
- Self-Cleaning Geometry: The spherical shape prevents the accumulation of sediment and debris during low-flow conditions.
- Lead-Free Construction: Complies with NSF 372 standards, ensuring suitability for potable water services.
- Gasket-Free Connection: The molded rubber sealing face typically eliminates the need for separate gaskets, simplifying the bill of materials.
- Can this be used for steam service? No, EPDM expansion joints like the DSEE0400 are not rated for steam or vacuum applications.
- Are control rods required? While not always mandatory, control units are highly recommended for unanchored piping to prevent the joint from extending beyond its rated limits.
- Is it compatible with oils? EPDM is ideal for water and mild chemicals but should not be used in systems containing petroleum-based oils or lubricants.
