KEFLEX™ Gold Series KSSPC braided flexible pump connectors are 100% American manufactured
from stainless steel annular corrugated metal hose surrounded with a tight weave
heavy-duty wire braid of high tensile stainless steel. This combination provides a highly flexible
braided pump connector with a longer service life than lighter duty type connectors. The
KEFLEX™ Gold Series KSSPC , which has higher pressure and temperature capabilities, can
absorb pump vibration and noise, 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 Series KSSPC units are carbon steel male nipples
for sizes 1/2” through 2”. Sizes 2” and larger have standard carbon 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 Series KSSPC 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 standard braided pump connector to outperform it in noise or vibration absorption,
pressure carrying capacity, and overall cycle life.
