A Flexible Reducing Coupling is a mechanical fitting designed to connect two pipes of different diameters while accommodating movement, vibration, and misalignment. These couplings are commonly used in fire protection systems to ensure leak-proof connections between various pipe materials.
Key Features:
• Material: Typically constructed from elastomeric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or rubber, offering flexibility and durability.
• Connection: Equipped with stainless steel clamps for secure, corrosion-resistant fastening without the need for welding or adhesives.
• Flexibility: Allows for slight angular and axial misalignments, reducing stress on piping systems and accommodating thermal expansion or ground movement.
• Pressure Rating: Generally suitable for low-pressure applications; specific pressure ratings depend on the manufacturer and product specifications.
• Certifications: Many models meet industry standards such as ASTM D 5926, ASTM C 1173, and CSA B602, ensuring quality and reliability.
