On Pumps
KEFLEX™ Gold Plus Series GPKSSPC braided flexible pump connectors are 100% American
manufactured from T-316L stainless steel annular corrugated metal hose surrounded with a
tight weave heavy-duty wire braid of high tensile stainless steel. This combination provides
a corrosive resistant flexible braided pump connector with a longer service life than lighter
duty type connectors.
The KEFLEX™ Gold Plus Series GPKSSPC , which has a greater corrosion
resistance, higher pressure and temperature capabilities, can absorb pump vibration
and noise, accept thermal expansion and reduce piping stress due to minor misalignment
and pressure variations. The reduction of stress on pumps and compressor housings can
greatly reduce long-term operation and maintenance cost.
Standard end fittings for KEFLEX™ Gold Plus Series GPKSSPC units are stainless steel male
nipples for sizes 1/2” through 2”. Sizes 2” and larger have standard stainless steel plate
flanges (5/8” minimum thickness) with ASA 150# bolt hole patterns. Other fittings are available
upon request.
These assemblies are intended for normal to severe pump vibrations. Misalignment should
not exceed 1/8” total. Maximum operating temperature is 1000° F. For higher pressures or
temperatures, consult the factory. For greater offset or lateral movements, use KEFLEX™
KFCS series flexible connectors. We believe that the KEFLEX™ Gold Plus Series GPKSSPC
braided flexible pump connector is the highest performing braided pump connector available
in the industry. Sold exclusively through our manufacturing representatives, we challenge
any other braided pump connector to outperform it in noise or vibration absorption,
pressure carrying capacity, overall cycle life, and corrosion resistance.
