Building Services (HVAC) Vibration Isolation

Expansion joints installed in unanchored piping or connected to isolated equipment must have control rods; those control rods must be properly set so that allowable movements are not exceeded.

Thrust restraints are recommended for all fan heads and for axial or centrifugal fans when the air thrust exceeds 10% of the equipment weight.

Ball joints are used to allow for pipe movement from such scenarios as thermal expansion.

These products are flanged concentric and eccentric reducing expansion joints with spherical arches. The carcass is made of multiple plies of tough, rubber impregnated fabric or tire cord with [...]

Flexible Connectors are used in duct systems to reduce vibration transmission and shock and accommodate thermal movements at minimum stress to the ductwork.

The Mercer Vibraflex reinforced rubber pipe is hand built by our skilled craftsmen. To minimize pipe elongation, the carcass is constructed of multiple plies of high tensile polyester tire cord [...]

The Series 1000 are low spring rate, large movement expansion joints for applications where significant movement is required in the pipeline.
