OVERVIEW: Copper ML Loop Flexible pipe loops from Flexicraft are an important alternative in adding flexibility to copper piping systems. Compared to hard pipe loops, they take up much less space, require fewer supports, and are more economical. Compared to traditional compensators, they have outstanding flexibility and no pressure thrust loads that can add large stresses to anchors.
Movement of 1-1/2" or 4" in all three directions are standard, but any movements can be accomodated with factory assistance. They come with female sweat ends, and are avaialble in two pressure classes with either one or two overbraids. Nested loops are available for pipelines that run parallel.
Any application where compensation for pipe movement is required, from the unpredictable seismic to the calculated thermal expansion, our flexible loops can meet your requirements.
- Independent pair of flexible legs allows considerable movement in any direction
- Eliminates thrust load an piping anchors with the use of the stainless steel braiding
- Compact compared to hard pipe loops
- Available in stock or custom designs
- Accommodating thermal growth and minimizing anchor loads from traditional compensator expansion joints
- Accommodating thermal growth and minimizing space needed from hard pipe loops
- Where larger axial and lateral movements from any source may be required
- Seismic protection of piping
