Expansion Joints
For big relief from stress
at pipe flanges!
Expansion Joints or Compensators are flexible rubber
elements (combined with metal and/or textile
reinforcements) useful for conveying fluids and
absorbing movements between sections or pipeline.
With a correct design they are able to absorb axial,
lateral and angular movements offering both safety and
insulation against noise and vibrations. Floating Flange Single Arch Double Arch

How A Rubber
Expansion Joint works
The purpose of an Expansion Joint in general, regardless
of design or materials of construction, is to provide a point
of flexibility in a piping or duct system in order to absorb
the growth of the piping due to thermal changes in the
media and/or the environment, and to absorb the
dynamic movements of machinery, buildings and
structures that the piping is attached to or a part of.
The Rubber Expansion Joint, because of the non-metallic AXIAL
nature of its construction, offers the piping and ductwork compression
designer advantages within the temperature and pressure
ranges of these joints, which cannot be matched by all
metal expansion, joints.
Consisting of flanged ends and a flexible section, much
the same as a flanged metal bellows, the rubber
expansion joint can absorb within its free length more
movements, particularly lateral, than any other joint of
similar overall size and pressure rating. AXIAL
The flexible section of a Rubber Expansion Joints is most extension
often a single convolution, which, because of the inherent
flexibility of the materials, can accept large lateral
movements with low force, a phenomena which requires
multiple convolutions in metal bellows. During axial and
angular movements, the rubber convolution deflects
much the same way that the metal convolution does. The
limits of these motions are determined by the geometric
shape and size of the convolution and the inherent
pressure resisting capacity of the design. LATERAL
shear or perpendicular to centerline
The manner in which the pressure loads are resisted in a
Rubber Expansion Joint is the major difference between
Rubber and Metal Bellows. Circumferential (hoop) loads
due to pressure are carried by the convolution itself in
metallic bellows. In a Rubber Expansion Joint, the
convolution is basically incapable of resisting pressure by
itself, but is supported by the adjacent rubber tube with its
internal fabric and/or fabric - metal reinforcing, or by the
attachment flanges themselves.
All Easyflex Units have integrally molded flanges, sized ANGULAR
and drilled to match standard flanges. All Rubber bending of the centerline
Expansion Joints require metallic split retaining rings
behind the flanges to back up protect the rubber integral
flange. Control rods must be used to protect expansion
joints from excessive movement if piping system is not
properly anchored and are normally recommended for
most piping installations.

EPDM/CR/NBR Flex
Connector - type REJFF
Spherical moulded type expansion joints / flexible connectors with zinc electroplated floating steel
flanges for easy alignment long radius arch bellow design permits substantial movements in all planes.
Application
Installation of REJFF is recommended as expansion joints within the piping system
and at connection points of piping suction discharge.
Compensate for axial transverse and angular pipe movements thereby
protecting the system from stresses and damage due to thermal expansion
and contraction of piping, minor pipe misalignment and hydraulic surge effects.
Eliminate need for pipe expansion loops that are expensive and require
considerable space.
Significantly reduce noise and vibration transmitted in the system through
pipe walls.
Allow vibration isolators to function properly, by providing flexibility at
equipment connection.
Features
The bellows are moulded under high pressure and impregnated with multi
ply nylon tire cord and spring-steel wire reinforcement. This makes them
suitable for both positive pressure and vacuum applications. ANGULAR
bending of the centerline
Long radius arch bellow design provides excellent axial, transverse and
angular deflection capability.
Spherical shape of bellow ensures smooth flow of fluid, resulting in
negligible pressure drop across the joint.

Expansion Joints for
Busduct Applications
Flexible connectors are used in ducting systems to reduce vibration transmission, shock and accommodate
thermal movements with minimum stress to the ductwork. Since pressure requirements in ducts are very low
compared to piping systems, they are manufactured in lighter construction to be more responsive to the reduced
stiffness of sheet metal ducting. Designs are always airtight to prevent particle intake or leakage.
These products come in many configurations as no standard design can meet the varied scope, service or
connection requirements. They can be round, square, rectangular, round on one end and square on the other and
even "T" or "L" shaped. Concentric and Eccentric Reducers are common and custom made designs can be made to
offset or compensate for older misaligned heavy ducting systems. The common characteristics are flexibility and
long life. Motion requirements are met with single and multiple arches and by varying the face to face length.
Materials
Sometimes the duct joints are in all rubber with no reinforcement, but the most common construction is natural
rubber or synthetic liner, plies of rubber impregnated tyre cord or fabric and a rubber cover. When pressure or
vacuum conditions are extreme, wire of steel ring reinforcement is used as well.
Polymers available are Natural Rubber, EPDM, SBR, Neoprene, Butyl, Hypalon, Nitrile, Silicone and Viton.
Reinforcement may be square woven fabric but more commonly Nylon, Polyester or Kevalr tyre cord.
These Bellows can also be in Aluminum for Busduct Applications in Round and Rectangular Configuration.
Connections
Duct joints can be slip-ons retained by lightweight or heavy banding. Most of them are flanged and we can work to
your requirements. We can supply the steel back up flanges in individual pieces in carbon steel, stainless steel,
aluminum or any other material as per requirement. Carbon steel is normally painted, but can be hot dip
galvanized or electroplated.
Liners
When temperatures are very high or the gases contain particle concentrations that tend to build up, carbon or
stainless steel liners are often used. These liners pass through the duct connector and enter the adjacent ducting
system to minimize damage and to increase the service / cycle life of the duct connector.
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
Measurements are subject to 5% tolerance.

and Big Blowers to absorb vibration, thermal movement and misalignments.
This type of expansion joint is available in a variety of material configurations such as Neoprene, EPDM,
Chlorobutyl, Hypalon* or Viton* elastomers with Nylon, Kevlar* or polyester tyre cord reinforcement.
Flanged style of ducting expansion joints are drilled to customers specifications. Round Duct Expansion Joints can
also be manufactured with a slip-on connection where no mating flange exists. The joint is manufactured to the
exact outside diameter of the duct, and simply slipped onto the pipe. Stainless steel/carbon steel bands hold the
joint securely in place.

Installation Instructions
Site Pre Installation Check & Instructions
Is type of Bellow/Joint correct for application.
Check maximum service temperature does not exceed maximum temperature specified in catalogue.
Are anchors suitable for the thrust generated.
Does pipework have adequate guiding and support.
Cold test pressure must not exceed 1.5 times the working pressure.
Area of movement of the joint must be free from obstruction.
Do not paint the rubber bellows/expansion joints (the outer cover is fully waterproof.)
Fitting Instructions
The necessary steps for installing all expansion joints should be pre-planned. The installers should be made aware
of these steps as well as the special instructions furnished with the expansion joint by the manufacturer, which will
provide information necessary for proper handling and installation of expansion joints. The most critical phases of
the expansion joint installation are as follows :
Are anchors, guides and supports installed in accordance with the system drawings.
Is the expansion joint in the proper location and is the installed length correct and have the control units
been installed properly (Please refer to our catalogue).
Are all guides, pipe supports and the expansion joints free to permit pipe movement.
Are any expansion joints misaligned? Measuring the joint overall length and checking clearances at critical
points on the expansion joint and at other points in the system can determine this.
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
Measurements are subject to 5% tolerance.

Operating Mechanism of
Metallic Expansion Joints
Why Expansion Joints are Required
While designing pipelines, a main artery of the modern industry, planners always face many obstacles : the
expansion and contraction of pipes caused by temperature changes both external and internal, vibrations
generated from machine operation and other stress imposed on the pipelines by wind or in some cases by
earthquake. Therefore, protection from these hazardous elements is always of major interest to the pipeline
engineers.
To absorb pressure from expansion, contraction and the vibration of pipes, flexibility is key. One of the most
effective flexible elements is the metallic bellows type expansion joint, which is currently widely used due to
continued developments and improvements in the performance and design technique.
Parts and Features of Expansion Joints
Bellows : After welded Piping forming with high-quality stainless steel sheets, bellows are produced through
hydraulic forming or roll forming. And sometimes the bellows are heat treated to eliminate the remaining welding
stress on the welded part or to remove the remaining stress generated during forming.
End Pipe: To facilitate connecting and fitting into the ends of bellows, the end pipe is normally made with the
same material that is used for the pipeline, and also to the same size as the pipeline.
Liner/Internal Sleeve: A device which minimizes contact between the inner surface of the bellows of an
expansion joint and the fluid flowing through it. It prevents vibration, and erosion of the Bellows.
Flange: Customer can choose a flange standard from among BS 10 Table D / ANSI / DIN / IS or any other
standard.
Tie Rod: The rods protect a device from excessive stretching and prevent the dislocation of pipelines. They also
stabilize pipelines by absorbing thrusts.
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

To achieve good results do not over load fitting more than designed parameters as per drawing / catalogue.
33
Basic Types of
Expansion Joints
Single Bellows Assembly
The simplest type of expansion joint consists of a single bellows element welded to
end fittings, normally flange or pipe ends. The single bellows can absorb small
amounts of axial, lateral and angular movement with ease, but adequate anchors
and guides must be provided.

Reinforced Metallic Expansion
Joints - High Pressure Series
This model is used in cases of high internal pressures. The system involves the use of reinforcement rings located
around the outside of the convolution thus preventing the bellows being forced out of shape due to the high pres-
sures. Equalizing and Reinforcing Rings are devices used on some expansion joints fitting snugly in the roots of the
convolutions. The primary purpose of these devices is to reinforce the bellows against internal pressure. Equalizing
and reinforcing rings are made of carbon steel, stainless steel or other suitable alloys. Reinforcing rings are usually
"T" shaped in cross section and equalizing rings are generally fabricated from tubing or solid round bars of carbon
steel, stainless steel, or other suitable alloys. Bellows including reinforcing or equalizing rings can be incorporated
to any type of Expansion Joint (Axial, Lateral, Angular, etc.).

SS Braided Connector
with Copper Ends
Flexible connectors are used to absorb thermal and seismic movement,
absorb hydraulic shock, provide vibration and noise dampening, ease
installation and correct minor misalignment of piping and components.
The inner hose is an annular (bellows) design. An annular hose is better
suited for pump connections because it can better sustain torsion stress
due to longitudinal expansion from rises in pressure. Metal wire braid
on a hose assembly restrains against hose elongation under higher
pressures and acts to dampen vibration. A heavy braid also increases
abrasion resistance. Optimal braid coverage will contain the core
under pressure and reduce the possibility of twisting and squirming.
The use of braided metal connectors for applications such as pumps, compressors and other mechanical
equipment can enhance the overall operation of a system.
Braided connectors have the advantages of:

Flanged Building
Expansion Joints
EASYFLEX braided building expansion joints are used to suppress
vibration from pumps, to absorb intermittent lateral movement in
pipelines and to compensate for subsidence when pipelines cross
building movement lines. They must be installed at right angles to
the direction of movement when installed in pipelines and close to
the suction and discharge connections when used on pumps. They
are not suitable for absorbing AXIAL movement, but are an
alternative to articulated or angular expansion joints for low velocity
applications.

Flexible Duct
Connector
Introduction
In order to isolate vibrations caused by air handling units, fans or other equipment connected to air ducts, it is
highly recommended to install a flexible duct connector joint between the outlet of these devices and the airduct. It
is necessary to select an airtight and flexible cloth, with good weathering qualities and one which will withstand the
temperatures inside and outside the duct. Duct being generally made of steel, the main difficulty is to fasten the
cloth to it in order to obtain a perfectly airtight joint. Easyflex duct connectors are perfect for this job.
Easyflex offers you a pre-assembled airtight and mechanically resistant flexible duct connector. It consists of astrip
of treated cloth, attached on both sides to strips of galvanised steel, using a strong mechanical joint and providing
airtightness. In order to meet the requirements of each kind of installation Easyflex has especially developed a
wide range of pre-assembled, ready to use duct connectors which offer a quick, easy, economical and efficient
method of assembly.
Easyflex flexible duct connector is available in various steel thicknesses, cloth qualities, cloth widths, steel widths
and types of seam. Air handling unit manufacturers will, by using narrower widths, be able to produce more
compact air handling units, with savings of weight, volume and cost.

Rod Bracing Clamps
Description
The EFRBC Series are designed to securely attach a length of steel angle
to a conventional hanging threaded rod.
The EFRBC hanging rod stiffener clamps consist of a one piece bright zinc
plated 0.180” thick formed metal stamping, complete with attachment
bolt and locknut.
The EFRBC rod stiffener clamps are manufactured in two (2) models.
EFRBC-B clamp is designed to accept angles ranging in size form 1” x 1” x
1/8” thick, up to 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” x 1/4” thick, and rod sizes ranging from
3/8” up to 1-1/8” in diameter.
EFRBC-C clamp is designed to accept angles ranging in size from 1-3/4” x
1-3/4” x 3/16” thick, up to 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 1/4” thick, and rod sizes
ranging from 3/8” up to 1-1/2” in diameter.
Applications
The EFRBC hanging rod stiffener clamps are required in order to brace threaded rod when this rod is used to suspend
piping, ductwork, and hanging equipment in a seismic zone. Suspended threaded rod, when subjected to seismic
forces, can buckle and fail when these forces put the rod in compression. Auxiliary steel stiffening angles are therefore
used to brace and to stiffen the threaded rod. EFRBC Model hanging rod stiffener clamps are designed to easily and
securely attache these bracing angles to the threaded rod, using common hand tools.
The design of the EFRBC clamp allows the installation of the angle bracing without the requirement to disassemble the
hanging rod. This feature makes the EFRBC clamp ideal for use in retrofit installations.
Seismic building codes should be referenced in order to datermine the size and thickness of the bracing angle, as well
as the quantity of attachment clamps required.

Restrained Spring
Features
Mountings
The EFRSM mounting has been designed specifically for applications where transmission of low frequency
machinery vibration to a building structure must be reduced to avoid physical damage or annoyance to the
occupants.
Vertical and lateral restraint is provided to control movement of the mounted equipment when subjected to
external forces. This could otherwise be excessive due to the low stiffness Springs required to provide isolation of
low frequency vibration.
Equipment located at roof level can be successfully mounted on the EFRSM units as any movement caused by high
wind loads will be limited. Cooling tower and chillers which contain large volumes of liquid will benefit from
installation on EFRSM mountings because during” draining down” upward movement is restricted thus avoiding
damage to pipework and electrical connections

Easyflex Model EFRSI Seismic Control Restrained Spring Vibration Isolators consist of
free-standing, large diameter, laterally stable steel springs assembled into welded steel
housing assemblies fabricated to limit vertical movement of the isolated equipment if
equipment loads are reduced or if the equipment is subjected to large external forces
such as a seismic events. The housings also provide a constant free and operating height
to facilitate installation. Spring elements are complete with internal noise isolation pads
and have an adjusting and leveling bolt as a part of the top load plate assembly. Holes
are provided in all isolators for bolting to the structure and to the supported equipment.
To assure stability, the springs have a lateral spring stiffness than 1.2 times the rated vertical stiffness and are
designed to provide a minimum of 50% overload capacity. EFRSI isolators are available with deflections upto 2" (50
mm) and with load capacities to 15750 kg. as standard products. Custom isolators with higher deflection and
greater load capabilities are also available. Easyflex Model EFRSI Spring Isolators are recommended for the
isolation of vibration produced by equipment carrying a large fluid load which may be drained, such as boilers and
chillers, and specially for the isolation fo cooling towers, air-cooled condensers, etc. where motion due to wind
loads must be minimized.
Application
Easyflex Model EFRSI Seismic Control Restrained Spring Isolators are recommended as a noise and vibration
isolator for mechanical equipment located near critically quiet areas when the equipment to be isolated has
significant changes of weight during maintenance operations and for equipment subjected to seismic events,
external forces, or high wind loads.
Model EFRSI Isolators are typically used to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration into supporting structure
form equipment carrying a large fluid load that may be drained, such as boilers and chillers, and cooling towers
which also require hold-down for seismic and wind loads. Operating static deflections are available to 2" (50mm)
to and maintain a high degree of noise and vibration isolation.
Specifications
Vibration isolators shall be seismically rated, restrained spring isolators for equipment which is subject to load
variations and large external forces. Isolators shall consist of large diameter, laterally stable, steel springs
assembled into welded steel housing assemblies designed to limit movement of the supported equipment in all
directions.

Seismic Restraint Snubber
Description
Model EFSRS-2 Seismic Snubber are designed for use in locations subject to earthquakes or other external forces
which could displace resiliently supported equipment.
Snubbers, when anchored to the building structure and placed around vibration-isolated equipment, are
intended to limit lateral motion by containing the supported equipment.
EFSRS-2 Snubber are designed to be used in pairs and will keep supported equipment contained when subject to
lateral forces from any direction. EFSRS-2 Snubbers are not designed for use with high center of-gravity supported
equipment or where vertical forces must be considered.
Model EFSRS-2 Snubbers are heavy structural steel weldments designed to minimize equipment motion without
failing. Resilient neoprene pads on the contact surface reduce shock loads by cushioning the impacts. Large
diameter anchor bolt holes allow loads to be safely transferred to the building structure.
Application
Building codes in many areas require building components to be capable of resisting forces created during a
seismic event.
Equipment on resilient supports such as spring neoprene or fiber glass vibration isolators can undergo large
motions relative to the building during such an event.
By using properly spaced and designed resilient snubbers around the equipment, motion can be limited and
equipment can remain in place.
Model EFSRS-2 Snubbers are rugged, heavy duty products which have been designed to resist imposed forces
from external sources, yet remain out of contact during normal operation so that vibration will not be transmitted
to the building.

Applications
Flange Grooved
Weld End Thread
Ordering Options
PRESSURE RATINGS Single braid for standard pressures. Double braid for higher pressure.
Standard connectors in SS 321 or SS 304/SS 316 also available.
MATERIAL End connections of carbon steel, stainless steel.
MOVEMENTS Specify 2”, 3”, or 4” in all planes.
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
Measurements are subject to 5% tolerance.
To achieve good results do not over load fitting more than designed parameters as per drawing / catalogue.
75
Seismic "V" Connector
Position & Support
The standard position is with the V and 90 degree elbow hanging down.
Horizontal and vertical mounting yields the same allowance for motion provided the 90 degree elbow is
supported properly to avoid sagging or torquing.
“EFSVC” Connectors larger than 1-1/2” diameter must be supported if installed in any other position than the
standard position. Supporting cable or rod should be attached to an eyelet located at the bottom of the 90-
degree elbow which can be provided by the factory. Flexible cable or pipe hanger rods can also be used.
Horizontal Run – “EFSVC” Connector Hanging Straight Down (as illustrated):
Loop hangs straight down, without restriction, and free to flex. Support of the bottom elbow is not required.
Pipe alignment guides are required to direct axial motion.
Horizontal Run – “EFSVC” Connector Straight Up:
Support must be provided at the 90 degree elbow to prevent the loop from leaning. Pipe hanger rod or cable
must be loose enough to allow the 90 degree elbow to move up or down ¼” as the connector flexes.
Spring isolated rod is ideal for this application.
Horizontal Run – “EFSVC”Connector Horizontal:
Support must be provided at the 90 degree elbow to prevent the flex hose from drooping or torquing the hose
or pipe. Pipe hanger rod or cable must be loose enough to allow the 90 degree elbow to move horizontally
back and forth ¼” as the connector flexes. Spring isolated rod is preferred for this application.
Nested
Due to the inherent design of the “EFSVC” Connector, they may be nested in most cases without having to alter
the standard construction. In tight centering situations where loop flanges would interfere with each other, it
add a center spool piece at the bottom of each connector. Please may be necessary for the factory to specify
sequence of pipe diameters and corresponding distances between pipe center lines.
Advantages
Anchor forces are minimized because the pressure thrust is reacted by the wire braid.
Anchor forces are minimized because of the inherent high flexibility of the metal hose.
The "V" configuration allows adjacent piping to be nested to save space.
V-Flex connectors can absorb in-plane extension and compression, or out of plane lateral offset.
Installation
In expansion compensation situations, the “EFSVC” Connector can be installed pre-compressed or pre-extended
only if the full range of motion will be encountered in one direction.
If shipping bars are attached to the connector, they should not be removed until after installation. These bars are
lightly tack welded to the loop to maintain the proper length until installation and will break-away in case of
seismic activity. If the “EFSVC” Connector(s) are designed and installed to compensate strictly for expansion, then
the shipping rods should be removed after installation.
For steam applications, a drain port and plug shall be specified and factory installed into the bottom of the 90
degree elbow to allow condensate to be drained. An alternative position for steam service is with the loop
inverted, with the 90 degree elbow pointing upward. In this way, the “EFSVC” Connector will drain naturally into
the surrounding piping. See the “Position & Support” section “Horizontal – V Straight Down”.
76
Seismic "V" Connector
Anchoring Considerations
Anchors are required on either side of the “EFSVC” Connector to react to the spring forces of the loop. Pressure
thrust loads are not a consideration because the “EFSVC” Connector will not impose pressure thrust due to the
welded on braid. Anchors should be of sufficient strength to withstand the spring forces of the loops and the
frictional forces of the pipe sliding through any pipe alignment guides. Approximate spring forces for the
“EFSVC” Connectors are as follows:
Note: The figures above reflect the total force required to deflect the “EFSVC” Connector its full rated movement,
pressurized to 10 Kg/cm2 for ½” through 8” and 5 Kg/cm2 upto 12”.

Installation Instruction
Illustrated below are the typical orientation for the U-Connector. No support is required for the 180º return bend
for standard loops 2-1/2” diameter and smaller. However due to the weight of the return bend and the extreme
flexibility fo the loop, larger sizes require support to prevent the 180 from sagging in all orientation except when
installed hanging down as shown in illustration #2. Guides are recommended but not always required. Special
Note - For steam service minimize the entrapment of condensate is crucial and loops should be installed as shown
in illustration #1.

U-Connector
Installation Instruction
U-Connector can be connected to adjacent piping with rigid or flexible type
couplings.
U-Connector may be installed in any orientation / position.*
U-Connector support:
a) No support is required for the (180°) return bend for U-Connectors 2
inch or smaller.
b) Support for the (180°) return bend for U-Connectors 2” and larger.
Hanging down require no support. Support for other orientations can
be provided in two ways;
i. A hanger rod at the 180º that is 12” long or greater, for
the +/- 4” of movement U-Connecotrs will allow the loop
to swing and no additional steps are necessary. For
+/- 8” of movement U-Connectors the hanger rod should
be 16” long or greater.
ii. If the U-Connector is installed with hanger rods less than
distances recommended above, a spring hanger
assembly is recommended, to allow the U-Connector to
flex during seismic event.
U-Connectors are shipped with the shipping bar to insure a neutral face to face during installation. This
shipping bar must remain in place during installation, but then must be removed prior to testing.
If the U-Connector cannot span the building’s seismic separation, it may be installed with the closest
elbow not more than 24 inches from the seismic separation.
* When U-Connector is installed in the up (180º bend above pipe run) position consideration should be
given to the removal of entrapped air.

Design Specifications
Pressures
Maxiumum Working Pressure: Maximum operating pressure to which the hose should be subjected. It is established
at 25% of the nominal design burst pressure.
Maximum Proof Pressure: Maximum test pressure to which the hose should be subjected. It is established at 150% of
the maximum working pressure with the hose installed straight. No harmful deformation shall occur.
Hydrostatic eld tests of hose assemblies installed in varying degrees of radial bend or parallel offset should be limited
to 120% of maximum rated working pressure at 70°F, or 150% of the actual operating pressure, whichever is the lesser.
Nominal Design Burst Pressure: The pressure at which the hose can be expected to rupture, based on the minimum
annealed ultimate tensile strength of the braid wire and the corrugated hose alloys at 70°F with the hose installed
straight.
Motion Classications
Easyex Tri Loop Seismic Connector design is the only exible pipe loop that absorbs and compensates pipe movement
in six degrees of freedom. (three coordinates axes, plus rotation about those axes simultaneously.)
The multiplane movement design can reduce expansion devices required in a piping system by up to 50%.
Offset Motion: Motion that occurs when one end of the hose assembly is deected in a plane perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis with the ends remaining parallel. Offset is measured as displacement of the free end centerline from
the xed end centerline.
Intermittent Offset is motion that occurs on a regular or irregular cyclic basis. It is normally the result of thermal
expansion and contraction or other non-continuous actions.

Rubber Pads
Selection Procedure
Compute the total load in kg. to be supported by Easyflex Pads. This includes machine weight and work load
it carries and also concrete or steel base or inertia block if used.
Determine unit loading to suit type of machine and supporting ground structure 23 kg. per square inch is
practical and effective loading and is recommended for most type of machines and equipment for isolation
of sustained vibration.
Divide the static weight by unit load to get total area of Easyflex Pad that is required.
Arrange the total area of into adequate number of pads that are necessary to give stable support and to
avoid base distortion. The area of each pad should be in proportion to the load carried by it so that the unit
loading or stress on all pads will be approximately the same.
The pads should be placed in such way that uniform deflection is obtained. Uniform load distribution
prevents over loading and possible premature failure of some of the mountings, prevents sagging and
enables the machine to maintain the normal horizontal position and make maximum isolation possible.
Features
Scientifically designed resilient material that isolates shock and all the six modes of Vibration and reduce
acoustic noise.
They give more deflection than any other material i.e. cork, felt etc.
They are cheaper than metal springs and have greater sound insulation ability.
They are highly resistant to oil, cleaning compounds, dirt, water, strength, heat aging and fatigue.
These are mostly used for machine tools, production equipments, heating and ventilation equipments,
pumps, generators, compressors, air handling units, fans, under heavy concrete bases, electronics or
sensitive laboratory apparatus, business machines, computers and data processor etc.

Description
The anti-vibration wall braces EFWB are used in order to add structural integrity of long and tall gypsum
board walls, which are mounted on anti-vibration pads or based on oating oor. They avoid any direct
connection between the double walls, and increase their stiffness. They prevent wall backward motion
during earthquakes. It is used where a secondary wall is installed for improved sound insulation .
EFWB consists of a metal frame, suitable reinforced and modulated. Two special anti-vibration elastic
support, EFWB is placed internally to absorb positive and negative axial forces.

Easy Mount
Introduction
The Easy Mount assembly consists of base and cover into which are a pair of rubber to metal bonded flexible units
sandwiched in an angular disposition. These are loaded in a combination of shear and compression for longest life
and best load /deflection characteristics. Besides the desired vertical flexibility, easymounts are stiffer in the
transverse direction as compared to flexibility in the horizontal direction. Full advantage of this characteristic is
taken by disposing the mountings so that the greater flexibility is available in the direction in which it is needed.
When three or more mountings are arranged symmetrically around a vertical axis, the flexibility of the suspension is
the same in all direction. Such an arrangement is very useful for centrifuges, washing machines and other
machinery revolving about a vertical axis.
The mountings are designed to protect the rubber inserts from oil and physical damage. A levelling device can also
be provided for machines requiring precision leveling. The pads are made in oil resisting rubber and can be used on
all kinds of floor. The rubber friction pad provided at the bottom obviates the necessity of bolting the machine to
floor. Easy Mounts can be conveniently arranged in tandem for doubling deflection for very low frequency
vibrations.

Spring & Viscous Damper
Introduction
Reciprocating machinery creates large vibration forces which frequently require isolation from the surrounding
building structure. Large forces or doubtful machine stability may require the use of an inertia block of steel or
concrete to provide low dynamic amplitude on the machine whilst providing a stable and stiff base which may be
supported by steel springs or other resilient devices. Many applications will operate quite satisfactorily with only an
undamped steel spring support, but where system resonances may be excited to unacceptable amplitude due to
the varying speed of the machine or transient conditions, damping must be incorporated.
Our range of steel springs and damper units for the support of machines are as diverse as laboratory balances and
turbo generator sets. Although standard components are used, each system is individuality designed and
analysed to ensure that the correct stiffness and masses are provided to permit proper operation of the mounted
equipment. First introduced over 40 years ago, these systems are now used world over.

Closed Spring Viscous Damper
Type EFCSD1
Introduction
Reciprocating machinery creates large vibration forces which frequently require isolation from the surrounding
building structure. Large forces or doubtful machine stability may require the use of an inertia block of steel or
concrete to provide low dynamic amplitude on the machine whilst providing a stable and stiff base which may be
supported by steel springs or other resilient devices. Many applications will operate quite satisfactorily with only an
undamped steel spring support, but where system resonances may be excited to unacceptable amplitude due to
the varying speed of the machine or transient conditions, damping must be incorporated.
Our range of steel springs and damper units for the support of machines are as diverse as laboratory balances and
turbo generator sets. Although standard components are used, each system is individuality designed and
analysed to ensure that the correct stiffness and masses are provided to permit proper operation of the mounted
equipment. First introduced over 40 years ago, these systems are now used world over.

26 Load Ranges
Unique mount design provides horizontal stability, high loading capacity and protective spring enclosure
All mounts have external leveling arrangement, capable of compensating for full static deflection.
- Eliminates possibility of binding by providing a smooth guide path for the top casing.
- Limits lateral movement, particularly due to start-up, shut-down and horizontal wind load.
- Prevents isolator short-circuiting by avoiding metal to metal contact.
Neoprene inserts below springs and 6 mm thick ribbed base pad act as noise breaks for high frequencies in
the audible range, which can otherwise get transmitted to building structure.
Mountings must be adjusted so that upper housing clears lower housing by at least 6 mm and not more then

Easyflex Restraint Model
EFTR
Description
Easyflex Model EFTR Thrust Restraints are used to counteract the discharge force created by fans during operation.
EFTR Thrust Restraints are used in pairs and best utilized when located on the centerline of the discharge outlet of
the fan, bridging the flexible duct connector.
Easyflex Model EFTR Thrust Restraints consist of high deflection, large diameter, laterally stable steel coil springs
assembled into a threaded rod and bracket assembly. The coil spring have a lateral spring stiff-ness greater than
1.0 times the rated vertical stiffness to assure coil minimum of 50% overload deflection capability to solid. The coil
springs are epoxy powder coated for corrosion protection. EFTR Thrust Restraints feature molded neoprene end
load plate assemblies. EFTR Thrust Restraints include threaded adjustment rod with hardware, fan and ductwork
mounting bracket angles, bracket back-up plates, and all attachment hardware.
Flexible Connector
Ductwork
Fan Discharge
Air Flow
Applications
ASHRAE recommends that thrust restraints such as Easyflex Model EFTR incorporate the same coil spring
deflection as the support isolators. EFTR Thrust Restraints are to be used for all fan heads, suspended fans, and all
base-mounted and suspended air-handling equipment operating at 2 inches or greater total static pressure (TSP).
EFTR Thrust Restraints are always installed in pairs and often work in conjunction with inertia bases for floor-
mountaed fans to counteract fan thrust.
Total fan thrust can be calculated using the following formula :
Thrust (Ibs.) = 0.036 x {TSP (PSI.)} x {Fan Discharge Outlet Area (sq. in.)}
To select the correct EFTR Thrust Restraint to be used, this total calculated thrust is to be divided by two (2) and then
rounded up to the next highest standard coil spring capacity.
Easyflex EFTR Thrust Restraints are best utilized when located on the centerline of the discharge outlet of the fan.
Fan instability can occur when attempts are made to control fan thrust only at the (floor-mounted) isolator
location. The attachment of the EFTR brackets must be made at structurally sound locations and cannot be
attached to bare unreinforced sheet metal ductwork.
The EFTR coil spring is to be preloaded to allow for approximately 0.25" (6 mm) of additional deflection due to fan
motion upon start-up. EFTR Thrust Restraint movement adjustment must be made under normal fan operational
static pressures.

Inertia Base
Introduction
Inertia bases and vibration mountings are designed to reduce the
transmission of noise and vibration from equipment to building
structures and associated pipework. When installed with rubber bellows
or stainless steel hose & pump connectors they provide an ideal vibration
and noise isolation solution. Inertia bases are designed to support
reciprocating equipment such as pumps, chillers, generators and air
handling equipment. The inertia base is manufactured from a fully
welded carbon steel zinc frame fitted with vibration mounts. The inertia
base are specifically designed and engineered to receive poured
concrete which can be supplied empty, pre-filled with concrete or pre-
filled with Pumps fitted. It is by adding this mass and by lowering
equipment centre of gravity it is installed under that enables the inertia
base to provide a stable support. This is particularly important for equipment which exhibits high out-of-
balance forces and are top-heavy such as pumps. The concrete base enables a reduction in motion from pump
start up and minimises the effect of unequal load distribution. Inertia bases are not only manufactured to suit
the equipment for which it's designed to support but can also be sized to suit site conditions. This is particularly
advantageous in tight restrictive areas such as building services plant rooms. All Bases are supplied with Anti-
Vibration Mounts designed to support the combined load of Pump, Concrete Base and Water and retain a 50%
overcapacity. When installing rubber bellows to a pump that is supported by inertia base the rubber bellows
should be supplied with tie bars. Tied units are designed to stop the bellows from elongating and prevent the
pressure thrust being transmitted on to the pumps and associated pipework. Easyflex rubber flexible
connectors are supplied with threaded tie rods whose primary function is to maintain the supplied length of the
rubber bellows under pressure while permitting only lateral deflection.
Easyflex Inertia Base come in several standard sizes as listed in our catalogue. However, these bases can also
manufactured to any size and specifications, even for heavier and more complex vibration isolation problems,
where viscous damping may also be required. For frame lengths greater than 2400 mm we would normally
recommend 6 isolators or more for exceptionally large bases.

If sound barrier walls are used, add the following:
Perimeter isolators shall be selected to support the wall weight in addition to the perimeter of the
floating floor.
5a. In seismic zones attach double acting resilient seismic snubbers to the structural slab on either side of
high center of gravity equipment not withstand the overturning moment generated by the machinery
snubbers and prevent failure of the floating floor.
6. Place reinforcing as shown on the drawing and pour concrete floor monolithically.
7. Raise floor 2”(50mm) by means of the jack-screws. (If construction sequence dictates raising the floor
before placing machinery, heavy planking must be used to protect floor while machinery is being
rolled into position).
8. Caulk perimeter isolation board in all locations and grout jack-screw holes.
If sound barrier walls are used, add the following:
9. Construct block walls on the floating floor beaing careful that mortar does not drop behind the walls.

work will not proceed until the condition has been corrected in a manner acceptable to the isolation
manufacturer. The sub-floor must have the same pitch as the top of the floating floor or special
provisions made for isolator housings of different height.
1.06 Sequencing and Scheduling
Coordinate work with other trades and coordinate scheduling with the construction supervisor to minimize
delays.
126
Spring JACK-UP Mount
Spring JACK-UP System
We believe that the most fool-proof and safest way to establish the air
gap is the jack-up or lift-slab method. Plastic sheeting is placed on the
sub-floor as a breaker layer, isolators are placed on the plastic sheeting,
reinforcing steel or mesh rests on the isolator housings, and the
concrete floor is poured. After the concrete has cured, the slab is lifted to
elevation by turning adjustment screw cavity above each isolator to any
specified air gap between 1" and 4".

EasyMute Sound Isolation Clips are primarily used to interrupt the ow of
energy from one material to the next. For example, if you had two rooms with a
common wall, you would need to separate, or decouple the drywall from the
studs to stop the transmission of sound waves. EasyMute Sound Clips are used
to soundproof walls in ceilings by decoupling one side of the structure from the
other. This allows each side to vibrate independently and drastically cut down
on the sound transfer. The best decoupling methods involve using resilient
sound clips which are attached to ceiling/wall joists, Metal Furring Channels
are then snapped into the channels and the drywall is fastened to the
channels. This system is also called a "Floating Wall/Ceiling" and signicantly
lowers the ability for sound, especially low frequency sound, from transmitting
into the room where they're installed.
EasyMute Sound Isolation Clips are used to eliminate structural borne noise by breaking the connection
between the room that contains the noise source and the outside world. This is called acoustic de-coupling
or sound isolation. EasyClip uses a specially forumated rubber isolator that isolates the gypsum board or
plywood from the structure reducing noise transfer by 75 to 100%, adding 15 to 20 STC and IIC points to
existing assemblies. The clips fasten directly to the framing creating a 1 5/8” cavity between the face of the
framing and the back of the gypsum board. With an acoustical design load rating of 36 lbs per isolator, our
EasyMute can support up to two layers of 5/8” gypsum board when spaced at 24” x 48” OC. For heavier
systems, you just need to increase the number of isolators to support the additional weight of the system.
Features
Usage
Isolation Clips are designed for use with any wood, steel or concrete application where noise control is
required, including wood-framed, steel-framed, CMU or concrete wall or ceiling systems.
The assembly of Isolation Clip decouples the gypsum board from the underlying structure
to provide enhanced acoustical performance.
What’s more, they fasten directly to the framing or structure to prevent sound and
vibrations from entering the adjacent space. This improves the STC and IIC ratings of
construction assemblies.

• Ease of Installation – Floor Joist Isolators are friction t over any wood
with a 2 inch width (actual width equals 1.5”). No messy glues or
adhesives are needed to install is product. No tools required!
GENERAL INFORMATION
Floor Joist Isolators are perfect for applications that use the “Box in a Box” or “Room in a Room”
construction methods, commonly seen when building a professional home theater or recording studio
environments. Floor Joist Isolators are a U-shaped isolation product used to create a oating oor system.
Floating oors are a key component in constructing high-performance home theaters and residential and
professional-grade studio environments. This product will reduce noise from airborne sources, such as
voices, TV’s and stereo equipment. Floor Joist Isolators will also reduce noise from structural borne sources,
such as footfall and oor mounted monitors. Ultimately, Floor Joist Isolators will improve a ooring
assembly’s Sound Transmission Class (STC) and improve a ooring assembly’s Impact Insulation Class
(IIC). Although this product will reduce all frequency sound transmission, Floor Joist Isolators decouple
ooring from structural supports which provide a reduction of hard to control low frequency sound
transmission. Our Floor Joist Isolators are made from medium density thermoplastic originally designed to
isolate vibration and structural noise transmission created by large industrial machinery. The Stud Beam
Isolators are sized to t any 2X lumber product, are very easy to install and is best used for new construction
when oor joists are exposed.
APPLICATIONS
• Professional and Home Theaters
• Professional and Home Recording Studios
• Band Practice Rooms
• Broadcast Studios Any environment that uses “Room in a Room” or Box in a Box” construction method
COVERAGE
Floor Joist Isolators are placed on exposed oor joists every 16 inches on center. One case of 50 pieces will
cover approximately 64 square feet and a case of 100 will cover approximately 138 square feet.

in the order.
Where Easyflex Rubber Support Inserts (RSI) are used, specifying ‘matching EFSSC Clamps’ will suffice.
In the case of plain pipe, for any type of piping other than steel, please select EFPSC model based on the
actual outer pipe diameter. Selecting on the basic of nominal sizes for these pipes can result in errors on
account of the large number of schedules prevalent.
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

Rubber Lined Split Clamps
EPDM lined split-ring type pipe clamps with integral fixing nuts. Suitable for celling suspension or vertical wall
mounting of piping. Designed with a number of features which enhance product performance and reliability.
Features
EPDM Lining - Easyflex clamps have high grade EPDM lining, which is significantly superior in terms
of product life compared to commercial grade rubber as provided by some others.
Both halves of the clamp are ribbed, for greater strength.
Long thread engagement - All Easyflex EFRLC series split clamps are designed with extended M10
thread lengths on the lips of the upper half. This ensures safer installation than clamps offered
by others, that have barely one thread engagement also prevents loosening of the clamp’s M8
grip over a period of time due the minor vibration that is generally present in piping systems and
causes thread wear. Dual Thread Nut
Twin-thread Nuts - Clamps for pipe ODs 65mm to 116mm have M8+M10 twin-thread suspension
nuts (as shown), for flexibility.
Side bolts have a slotted-cross head for convenience.
Custom designed stainless steel (SS 304 / 316) split clamps are available on request.

PE Pipe Support
The high density advanced PE pipe insulation support is researched and developed by the economy and has
many typical properties comparing with wooden-made pipe insulation support, low thermal conductivity,
anti-corrosive, non-flammable and resistant to water condensation and chemicals, etc. Based on its
outstanding features, PE pipe support can be widely used as pipe insulation support in both air conditioning
system and fields of oil refining, food making, chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Property Description
It contains no CFC and has advantages to replace wooden pipe support and needs no preservation before
use so that it is up to requests of green and environmental protection standards by local or state.
Compressive strength test shows PE pipe support is strong enough to hang and support pipes with all weight
of pipe itself, water inside and insulation outside.
Its low conductivity ensures high effect of thermal insulation.
It has excellent fire proof property comparing with wooden pipe support.
It is unnecessary to preserve it before use therefore the installation cost is low.
Its safety working temperature goes from -20°C~ +135°C.
Due to closed cell structure, it has good water proof property.
Advantages
It has achieved Grade B2 (GB8624-1977) fire resistance, thermal insulation, vibration absorbent, sound
isolating,
moisture resistant properties which effectively provide the engineer a perfect solution to eliminate the
condensation and "cold bridge" issues in HVAC system. We provide the Engineer a new way to protect their
installations in quality by specifying standardized products.

Description
Vertical pipe risers can create a unique set of problems when they are installed in multi-story buildings. The
introduction of fluids into the pipe can generate significant forces within the building at the riser support locations if
the fluid temperature differs considerably from the ambient temperature in the building at the time of initial
installation. Pipe expansion due to hot water and stream will cause the overall length of the riser to grow, and chilled
water will result in contraction. These pipe movements transfer substantial force into the building structure and will
result in a serious increase in stress levels within the walls of the pipe.
The use of vibration isolators as pipe riser supports can eliminate the potential for damage to the pipe and to the
building. These flexible supports will allow the pipe to expand or contract without a large increase in the stress in the
pipe or the building at the support locations. resilient pipe anchors can serve to fix the pipe at a given location while
still providing for vibration isolation between the riser and the building. Pipe guides will prevent any possibility for
horizontal pipe motion due to thermal growth in loops, offsets, or branches.
Easyflex has the ability to model project specific vertical pipe riser systems using our proprietary computer software
which was designed specifically for rises analysis. This is a representative output data sheet for a typical base
anchored rises. Result include information concerning the installed and operating spring deflections, force on the
building at each support location, and stress levels within the pipe.
We provide this engineering analysis as a sales product service, tailored uniquely to the specific building project and
the isolation product used. This enables the project design engineer to know with certainty how the riser pipe and
building will interact during both installation and operating conditions. Please contact our Engineering Department
for futher details.

Riser Anchors
Each pair of EFRA(H) Riser Anchors provides high frequency noise and vibration isolation for those
locations where movement must be controlled.
When the anchors are attached to piping as shown in the illustrations below, all expansion will be
directed from this point.
Anchors are always used in pairs.

Features
Based on long experience as specialists in pipe support systems, T W
The ‘Tongue & Groove’ locking arrangement between RSI halves saves
tine / labor and eliminates possibility of air-gaps or relative shift, thereby
minimizing loss of insulation efficiency.
Figure 4
Usage of RSI at pipe support locations provides the additional benefit of
noise attenuation, since the rubber acts as an acoustic barrier against the
structural transmission of high frequencies.
RSI form an integral, coordinate part of our pipe support systems. Available
for any common pipe size / insulation thickness, they are compatible for use
with our extensive range of various types of supports. Using RSI with matching
Easyflex pipe hanger / supports serves to simplify, speed up and enhance the Figure 5

Air Vent
Rugged full brass body automatic air-vent rated for 16 bar working pressure, supplied complete with isolation
check valve. Constructed entirely of non-corroding materials.
Product Application
Air enters all piped water systems used in HVAC plants, water
distribution and waste water networks. If permitted to remain
trapped in the system, this air causes problems such as corrosion
and premature wear of components, cavitation in piping and
pump casing, stresses in piping due to water hammer, reduction in
the ow rate of water, increase in noise level, reduction in the heat
transfer capacity of heat exchangers , high energy consumption
and increased maintenance coasts.
The above problems can be prevented by continuously releasing
the trapped air by using automatic air-vents.
installation of BAV air-vents is recommended at:
- all high points of the piping system
- top of air bottles, air vessels, air separators, riser pipes
- top of heat exchangers, evaporators, cooling coils

Grooved Rigid
Couplings
Specifications
Provides a rigid joint by positive clamping of the pipe that resist flexural and torsional loads.
As the coupling bolts are tightened, the angled bolt pads slide in opposite direction causing the coupling
keys to tightly grip, the pipe, while at the same time the pipe grooves are forced outward against the
coupling keys.
The angle bolt pad design allows for faster swing over installation with the removal of only one bolt.
Provide rigidity for valve connections, fire mains, machinery rooms & long straight runs. Support and
hanging requirements correspond with NFPA 13 Sprinkler systems
