Flexible Expansion Loops
OVERVIEW: ML Loop flexible pipe loops from Flexicraft are an important expansion joint alternative in adding flexibility to a piping system. Compared to hard pipe loops, they take up much less space, require fewer supports, and are more economical. Compared to traditional expansion joints, they have outstanding flexibility in all directions, and has no pressure thrust loads that can add large stresses to anchors and require more guiding. And also see our standard ML Loop in a "U" design.
In addition to being used to absorb thermal expansion in the piping, they are also ideal for seismic isolation to protect piping and equipment during earthquakes. Large movements in all directions allow for absorption of the random seismic displacements.
The loops are also available in all stainless, nested configurations, with liners, CSA / AGA approved, and with any end fittings. Ideal for data center piping in mission critical cooling systems. Pipe guides are also available for use with the loops.
