Silicone Rubber Expansion Joint

silicone rubber expansion joint is a specialized flexible connector designed for sanitary and high-purity piping systems. Commonly referred to as a medical-grade rubber joint, cleanroom rubber bellow, or high-temperature silicone expansion joint, this product is ideal for environments that demand exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and non-toxic performance.

Made from high-purity silicone elastomer, the joint handles extreme temperatures from -60°C to +200°C without compromising flexibility or sealing strength. It effectively absorbs vibration, reduces noise, and compensates for minor misalignment in the pipeline.

Widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, semiconductor production, and ultrapure water systems, the silicone rubber expansion joint ensures leak-free and corrosion-resistant performance. Reinforced with fabric layers and paired with stainless steel or custom flanges, it is compatible with international flange standards including ANSI, DIN, and JIS.

Notes

Customization available upon request with specific drawings or specifications; flanges are based on the “National General Water Supply and Drainage Standard Atlas,” others follow HG/T2289-92.
For DN350-600(2) models, working pressure is 1.6MPa; for DN32-400(3) models, working pressure is 2.5MPa.
For DN700-DN200 models, working pressure is 1.0MPa; for DN1400, working pressure is 0.6MPa; for DN1600-DN1800, working pressure is 0.4MPa, flanges are selected according to 0.6MPa; for DN2000, working pressure is 0.25MPa, flanges are selected according to 0.6MPa pressure.
For high-rise water supply, products above DN200 must have fixed supports or brackets; otherwise, anti-pullout devices should be installed.

1.Inspection Before Installation

•Check whether the rubber joint is damaged, aged, or defective.

•Confirm the model, pressure rating, and flange size match the system requirements.

2.Installation Environment

•Avoid installation under direct sunlight, ozone, or in environments with high temperature or strong corrosive chemicals.

•If outdoor installation is necessary, use UV-protective shields or covers.

3.Installation Instructions

•Align the rubber joint with the center of the pipe flanges. Avoid pulling or twisting during installation.

•Tighten bolts crosswise and evenly to avoid uneven force or deformation.

•Use proper washers and gaskets.

4.Precautions

•Ensure the pipeline is properly fixed; rubber joints are not designed to bear the full weight.

•Do not over-extend, over-compress, or apply excessive torsion to the joint.

•Allow for movement as specified (axial, lateral, angular) within rated limits.

•Install limit rods or anti-pull devices if the pipe system lacks sufficient fixation.

5.Working Pressure & Temperature

•Observe the rated pressure and temperature range during operation.

•Standard range: -15°C to +115°C (or as specified).

6.Routine Inspection & Maintenance

•Inspect every 6–12 months for signs of aging, damage, or leakage.

•Replace if any abnormalities are found.
