Pumpsaver Form Follows Function. Many believe that all braided pump connectors are the same, until you go to pick up the Pumpsaver. The Pumpsaver is manufactured with closed pitch hose making it an extraordinarily flexible connection. That construction saves valuable time on equipment installation, making it easy when it comes to equipment alignment. Safety and performance has always been the heart of our product s design. That is why Pumpsaver s unique manufacturing process creates a smooth transition at the first convolution to the flange vs. the industry norm a raw, jagged sharp edge. PUMPSAVERS design and manufacturing utilizes state-of-the-art welding technology. Flex-Hose Co. has welders certified to ASME Section IX. Quality and safety is our passion at Flex-Hose Co. That is why we 00% pressure test every Pumpsaver connector to assure trouble-free installation and years of quality service and back our product with the industry s only year product replacement warranty. Flex-Hose Co. s PUMPSAVER connectors are metal flexible connectors available in stainless steel or bronze. They are used to prevent damage to pumps caused by piping stress. PUMPSAVER connectors also absorb vibration and noise found in pump installations. PUMPSAVER connectors are easily installed and reduce the possibility of pump failure. PUMPSAVER are designed to be pressure tested. times their maximum rated working pressure and manufactured with a 4: safety factor. Their compact design saves valuable space. Working pressure of standard hose and braid up to 2PSI or full vacuum and operating temperatures of -400 F to +00 F. PUMPSAVERS are manufactured with 2 stainless steel or bronze annular corrugated close pitch metal flexible hose. Other stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloys are available. PUMPSAVERS are available with flanged ends, steel male NPT ends, grooved ends, weld ends, or copper tube female sweat ends and may include multiple braids for higher working pressures. Standard Sizes to 6 Other sizes and custom styles available. Please consult factory.

We will meet your most challenging service condition utilizing highest quality materials and manufacturing process. Flex-Hose industrial metal hose manufacturing process incorporates the removal of the first convolution lip at the crest, creating a smooth transition. This eliminates internal sharp edges or burrs which may break off during operation, thus causing damage to pumps and precision equipment. Our design and manufacturing utilizes state-of-the-art welding technology. Flex-Hose Co. has welders certified to ASME Section IX. We are regularly inspected by Underwriters Laboratory for our UL Listed gas assemblies. We build it to last! Why metal hose? Flex Hose Co. industrial metal hoses can be supplied up to 24 in diameter. Major applications include absorbing vibration, compensating for misalignment, and accommodating offset motion. Our metal Hose assembles are widely used in mechanical and process piping systems for conveying high pressure and/or high temperature media as well as corrosive and non-corrosive media including gas. Flex-Hose Co. personnel have the technical training and ability to provide solutions to the most demanding applications. Our support also extends through specific job analysis which recommends product placement within a piping system, perfectly integrating them into the overall theme of your project saving you both time and money! Passing the test... Manufactured with a 4: safety factor, all Flex-Hose Co. industrial metal hose is pressure tested for manufacturing integrity prior to release for shipment. Testing options include: standard leak testing, hydrostatic testing, dye penentrant, and helium mass spectrometer. Compressed and Combustible Gases If you require UL listed connectors approved for compressed and combustible gases, then ask about the UltraFuel Flex! UltraFuel Flex product is approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Additional Corrugated/Braided Metal Hose Fittings PARALLEL VIBRATION Offset Motion: Motion that occurs when one end of the hose assembly is deflected 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 fixed end centerline. Motion Frequency: Permanent Offset - The maximum fixed parallel offset to which the corrugated metal hose assembly may be bent without damage to the convolutions. No further motion is to be imposed other than normal vibration. 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.
