VIP BSP Female EPDM Rubber Flexible Connectors
Key Information
VIP BSP Female EPDM Rubber Flexible Connectors are compact, high-performance connectors designed to reduce vibration, absorb movement, and minimise noise transmission in smaller pipework systems. Featuring BSP female threaded ends for quick and straightforward installation, these connectors are manufactured from durable EPDM rubber with reinforced nylon construction for reliable long-term performance. Suitable for water, warm water, sea water, air, and weak acid applications, they are ideal for pumps, HVAC equipment, and general industrial services where flexibility and equipment protection are essential.
*Please note: VIP Rubber Pump Flexibles should not be used at both their maximum working temperature and pressure simultaneously.
