Let Thunder Technologies partner with you to solve your piping system PTFE and FEP expansion joint and bellows issues. We have a depth of knowledge, engineering and experience to help you!
PTFE Expansion Joints and PTFE Bellows for Piping
You know if you need PTFE or FEP expansion joints or bellows in your demanding piping system. Call or email us to discuss your PTFE piping system expansion joints needs.
PTFE and FEP expansion joints and PTFE flexible bellows are superior for resisting corrosion, chemicals and steam and are non-stick. Your PTFE or FEP expansion joint or flex bellow are molded and hand-crafted.
PTFE piping expansion joints have fewer convolutions than PTFE bellows. For maximum vibration reduction and movement in your piping system, a PTFE bellow is preferred over a PTFE expansion joint. PTFE and FEP piping expansion joints can be combined with metal and rubber expansion joints.
Flexible Pipe Connectors
Thunder Technologies’ friendly salespeople are experts in critical flexible pipe connectors. Pipe connectors are often referred to as expansion joints, flex hose connectors, flexible pipe connectors, vibration hose and more. We offer Rubber pipe connectors and metal pipe connectors. Pipe connectors are flexible connectors for pipe systems and often used as pump connectors.
Rubber Pipe Connectors
Rubber pipe connectors are flexible connectors with a rubber liner, reinforced with fabric and/or metal wire, and a rubber cover. Typically rubber pipe connectors are a flanged flexible connector. Corrosion resistant coating can be applied. Rubber pipe connectors are typically for general use in industrial piping systems, heating, A/C systems which do not require high temperature, full-vacuum or high-pressure ratings.
Rubber Pipe Connectors Features:
- Liner materials include Natural rubber, FKM, EPDM, Nitrile, Neoprene and more
- Custom-made
- Temps up to 400F degrees
- Pressure to 150psi
- No metal-to-metal contact, no electroylic action
- Designed to absorb noise and vibration
- Absorbs water hammer and water vibrations
- Ideal for Industrial piping, heating and air conditioning systems
- Made in the USA
