Eaton Aeroquip Flexmaster Joints, Couplings and Gaskets

Flexmaster
Flexmaster Joints from Eaton are a quick, easy, efficient and economical way to make pipe and tube connections. There are many sizes of Flexmaster Joints, from .38" to 6" for pipe and 3/4" to 5" for tube.

Gaskets for Flexmaster Joints come in both standard and high-temperature BUNA-N, EPDM, fluorocarbon and silicone. Gasket styles include standard and self-restraining, which feature a stainless steel gripping ring inside which allows the joint to maintain a firm grip on the pipe or tube, preventing movement along the pipe or tube.

Basically, there is a Flexmaster Joint for almost any application you can think of and even special configurations and seal materials can be made-to-order.

Although commonly referred to as Aeroquip Flexmaster Couplings, Eaton does not include Flexmaster under its Aeroquip brand and the coupling is a piece of the entire Flexmaster Joint configuration.

No threading, flanging, welding, grooving or other special end preparation of tube or pipe is required with Flexmaster Joints. Use pipe after it is cut to appropriate lengths, but the Flexmaster Joint will accommodate large tolerances in the length of the gap.

Pipe vibration and noise can be drastically reduced with Flexmaster Joints. The resilient, thick rubber of the Flexmaster joint gasket absorbs vibration and noise. As explained above, use of the self-restrained style gasket restricts movement along vibrating pipes and tubes.

Even misaligned piping and tubing is no problem for Flexmaster. The Flexmaster Joint design eliminates flanged bolt holes and pipe threads that require careful alignment. The Flexmaster bulged joint permits up to a total of plus or minus 4° angular installation misalignment at each end while maintaining a leak-proof seal.

Installation time can be slashed by using Flexmaster Joints. Basic assembly tools are all that's needed. After extensive use, the gaskets can be replaced easily and quickly.
