KEP/KEK Flexible connectors

Product catalog summary
Characteristics:
KEK and KEP are flexible connectors designed to reduce vibration in ventilation systems. They are available in round or rectangular shapes.

Intended Use:
These connectors are used to connect fans, heat recuperators, or air-handling units with ventilation ducts, preventing vibration transfer from mechanical devices to the rest of the system.

Design:
The connectors are made of flexible tape with steel connection parts at both ends. KEP connectors have rectangular collars, while KEK connectors have round collars or male/female connection parts. The connectors are initially coated with anti-corrosive paint. Standard connectors use Robust BS-25 tape and are 150 mm long, with other tape options available upon request.

Installation:
Installation involves using gear tape and interlocking joints. Figures illustrate the KEK round flexible connector with different connection parts.

Dimensions and Technical Data:
A table provides technical data and dimensions for various tape types, including fire behavior class and temperature range. For example, Robust CR-25 is flammable and operates between -25°C and +70°C, while Silicona DS-25 is non-flammable and operates between -40°C and +260°C.

Ordering Information:
When ordering, specify the connector type (KEP or KEK), dimensions, tape type, and connection types. Examples of product labeling are provided for both rectangular and round versions.
