Flexible Connectors

Flexible Connectors - Expansion Joints

Whether your concern is thermal expansion or vibration isolation, BAM! Flexible Connectors are the right solution. Industrial grade construction assures long life and dependable operation. Delivery when you need it.

Flex Connectors Feature:

A wide variety of sleeve materials to offer a broad range of chemical and material resistance options. beyond.

Flexible Connectors are sized to fit on all makes and models of fans and blowers.

BAM! Flexible Connectors will be custom sized to fit your application and your equipment. With sleeve depths of 3" to 36", we will design and fabricate rectangular and round connections for inlets and discharges of any manufacturer's fan or any size ductwork.

Construction Specifications:

BAM! Standard flex connector construction includes Stainless Steel flanges, and an 8" flexible sleeve. The sleeve is constructed using two layers of Teflon coated fiberglass. The sleeve is air tight, water tight and flame resistant, complying with UL standard #214 and NFPA 102 requirements for flammability. The sleeve is formed with overlapping redundant seams for maximum durability.

Although 1 layer is sufficient for typical duty, BAM! Flex connectors are made with two layers, basically a "sleeve within a sleeve". Just like the double hull on an oil tanker, even if one layer gets punctured, your BAM! Flex Connector will continue to provide satisfactory service until it can be replaced.

The Teflon coated fiberglass has an extremely wide range of chemical resistance, covering most commonly encountered corrosives and solvents. (Acetone, ethyl alcohol, chlorine, formaldehyde, gasoline, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and xylene to name just a few.)

Performance Specifications:

BAM! Flex Connectors can accept misalignment well beyond normal duct alignment tolerances. Up to 1" offset over the 8" sleeve length is acceptable, and satisfactory service may be realized with even worse misalignments depending on air stream velocity, turbulence and other factors.

Vibration transmission through the connector is negligible, to the point where other system factors will be the dominant source. If you have an extremely critical circumstance, please contact BAM! for a specific review of your application.

The material tensile strength is 300lbs./inch, however, the connectors are not designed to be load bearing.
