Description
Red Valve’s VPR - Redflex P-5 Standard Rubber Pipe & VPR - Redflex B-1 Abrasion Resistant Rubber Pipe are designed to allows simple connection of different sized pipes. Rubber Pipes also provide all of the benefits of a Redflex Expansion Joint. Redflex Rubber Pipes can be used as pipe reducers or increasers, expansion joints, flexible connectors and vibration eliminators.
The advantage of an all-rubber reducer over a metal pipes is the flexibility and durability of the elastomer. Elastomer pipes are usually used on slurry and abrasive applications to prevent the collection of material, which can settle in the arches. Redflex pipes eliminate noise and isolate vibration in the pipeline, reduce stress, eliminate electrolysis and protect against start-up surges.
Red Valve manufactures elastomer pipes to meet your exact piping needs. The flanges are designed to meet ASME Class 125 drilling. Redflex Rubber Pipes are available in a variety of elastomers to satisfy the chemical compatibility and temperature of the process fluid. Piping systems must be anchored when using concentric reducers. Standard control rods cannot be used to prevent overextension or elongation. This is particularly of concern in larger diameter sizes, over 12”, where the smaller end joint control rods have a lever effect. Special design control rods with backup plates may need to be engineered.
