The flexible pipe connectors absorb the continuing movement experienced in piping systems because of varying vibrations and change in temperatures. Thus, the danger of buckling or pulling apart and resulting maintenance costs are eliminated. The flexible connections reduce objectionable noise and vibration in piping systems connected to pumps, compressors, and similar pulsating equipment. The flexible connectors compensates for lateral, torsional, and angular movements due to settlement, load stresses, and wearing of parts that frequently cause piping and mechanical equipment to move out of normal alignment.
