Flex-Hose Co.'s patented Tri-Flex Loop™ makes a world of difference in critical piping connections. It is designed to provide a superior flexible pipe loop that will absorb and compensate multi-plane pipe movements simultaneously as well as reduce piping stress.

It is the safest and most reliable means of absorbing up to 4 inches of movement resulting from thermal changes, random seismic shifts, and misalignment in a piping system. It also dampens vibration and reduces the transmission of noise. Tri-Flex Loops are designed to be pressure tested 1.5 times their maximum rated working pressure and manufactured with a 4:1 pressure safety factor. The Tri-Flex Loop eliminates the need for the added installation expense of traditional long length pipe loops and its compact design saves valuable space.

Tri-Flex Loops do not impose additional thrust loads on the piping system and thus minimize the need for costly anchoring or thrust blocks while also eliminating pipe guides required by traditional piping system designs which utilize mechanical pipe loops or expansion joints. Working pressure of standard hose and braid construction up to 1325PSI or full vacuum and operating temperatures of -400° F to +1500° F.

Tri-Flex Loops are manufactured with 300 series stainless steel or bronze annular corrugated closepitch metal flexible hose.

Tri-Flex Loops are available with flanged ends, male NPT ends, grooved ends, weld ends, or copper tube female sweat ends and may include multiple braids for higher working pressures.
