FLEXLOCK
™
ENDS
(Full Face Flanges)
Flexlock Ends applications are the same as the
Flexseal™ Ends. This Thermoid patented
method of joining hose produces a flexible,
rubber-to-rubber seal of great strength. Rubber
facing eliminates the need for a gasket. It also
provides a rubber seal, thus eliminating any
metal contact with the contents of the hose.
Flexlock Ends are a rubber flange, reinforced
with heavy hose fabric and forming a continuation
of the hose tube, backed by a solid steel ring
with either 150 lb. or 300 lb. drilling. Flanges
cannot be rotated to align bolt holes.

FLEXLOCK
™
CONNECTORS
Flexlock Connectors are stronger than the
Flexseal™ connectors. Flexlock is designed for
working pressures from 100 to 150 psi. The
natural rubber tube is abrasion and acid
resistant. No metal touches the material being
carried. Flexlock can be ordered with or
without wire reinforcement. Flanged ends are
drilled to bolt to companion standard flat-face
flanges, providing a tight seal without a gasket.
The connector is furnished with a solid steel
backup flange, vulcanized to the duck of the
rubber flange. Flexlock Connectors are short
lengths of hose for joining metal piping thereby
putting non-rigid couplings into the lines. Made
of thick flexible rubber, they absorb vibrations
and prevent the transmission of noise and
damaging vibrations through the metal pipes.
As a result, pumps, controls, valves and other
equipment have longer life.
