SL-53

Product catalog summary
SL-53 Expansion Joint Overview
The SL-53 Triple Arch Expansion Joint is designed for low-pressure systems, offering more lateral movement than the SL-50. It is engineered to slip over pipes for easy connection and is effective in eliminating vibration and sound while absorbing movement in pipelines. This product is made in the U.S.A. and is constructed from a variety of elastomers including Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton®.

Specifications and Features
  • Allows for greater contraction, expansion, and lateral movement compared to the SL-50.
  • Internal diameter matches the outside diameter of replacement pipes.
  • Secured by clamps after slipping over pipe ends.
  • Constructed with a tube of natural or synthetic rubber and reinforced with high-quality synthetic fabric.
  • Protected against oil, weathering, ozone, and corrosives.

SL-100 Vibration Pipe Overview
The SL-100 Vibration Pipe is also designed for low-pressure systems and provides a simple solution for reducing vibration and movement. It slips over pipes for easy connection and includes stainless steel bands for secure attachment. Like the SL-53, it is made in the U.S.A. and constructed from the same range of elastomers.

Specifications and Features
  • Acts as a rubber isolator to prevent vibration transmission from moving parts like pumps or compressors.
  • Eliminates noise transmission by isolating vibration.
  • Flexible joint compensates for movement between pipes.

Conclusion
Both the SL-53 and SL-100 are effective solutions for managing movement and vibration in low-pressure systems, with easy installation and robust construction from high-quality materials.

SL-53 Expansion Joint Ǡ Triple Arch Ǡ Slips over pipe for easy connection Ǡ Designed for low pressure systems Ǡ More lateral movement than SL-50 Ǡ Vibration and sound elimination Ǡ Absorbs movement in pipeline The Slip-On Series SL-53 Triple Arch Expansion Joints are designed to allow for greater contraction, expansion, and lateral movement than the SL-50. The internal diameter of the SL-53 is equal to the outside diameter of replacement pipes. The SL-53 slips over the ends of an open pipe and is secured by clamps. Construction consists of a tube made of natural or synthetic rubber, a hand fabricated body consisting of high quality synthetic fabric for reinforcement, and a cover wrap used to protect the unit against occasional contact with oil, weathering, ozone, and corrosives. The SL-53 Triple Arch Expansion Joint is simple and economical to use. The SL-53 Expansion Joint will absorb movement from vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, and allow for misalignment of piping. A C Ǡ ELASTOMERS Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton® SL-100 Vibration Pipe Ǡ Designed for low pressure systems Ǡ Slips over pipe for easy connection Ǡ Vibration and sound elimination Ǡ Absorbs movement in pipeline Ǡ Made in U.S.A. The Slip-On SL-100 provides a very simple and effective way to reduce vibration and movement in low-pressure applications. The slip-on configuration of the SL-100 allows a section of pipe to be removed, and the rubber connector to be slipped into place. Stainless steel bands are provided for a secure connection. The SL-100 acts as a rubber isolator to prevent vibration from being transmitted from moving parts, such as pumps or compressors. By isolating vibration, it also eliminates much of the noise that is transmitted as well. The flexibility of the joint can help compensate for movement between two pipes. A C Ǡ ELASTOMERS Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton® For dimensions of the SL-100, see page 14.
