|---|---|
· Convenient Union Connection: The three-piece union design allows for installation and removal without rotating the entire pipeline, significantly reducing labor time.
· Efficient Sound & Vibration Dampening: The thick elastomeric body breaks the transmission of acoustic noise and mechanical pulses, protecting sensitive equipment.
· All-Directional Movement: Capable of absorbing axial compression, extension, lateral deflection, and angular movement in a single compact unit.
· Corrosion-Resistant Fittings: Union ends are typically supplied in galvanized ductile iron, with stainless steel (SS304/316) or bronze options available for aggressive environments.
· Eliminates Electrolysis: The rubber body acts as a dielectric insulator, preventing metal-to-metal contact and stopping electrolytic corrosion.
· High Pressure/Temperature Tolerance: Standard units are rated for up to PN16 (16 Bar) and can withstand temperatures up to 115°C.

WODE Valve produces threaded joints that meet rigorous international quality benchmarks:
· Precision Threading: Our unions are machined to exact BSP/BSPT tolerances, ensuring a perfect seal without the risk of cross-threading.
· Vulcanized Integrity: We use high-pressure molding to ensure the rubber bellows and reinforcement layers are perfectly bonded.
· 100% Leak Testing: Every joint is hydrostatically tested to ensure the union-to-rubber interface is completely airtight and leak-free.
· Customized Mesh Reinforcement: For high-pressure branch lines, we can incorporate extra nylon tire cord layers to prevent deformation under surge conditions.
· HVAC & Air Conditioning: Connection to fan coil units and chillers to prevent structural noise transmission.
· Domestic Water Systems: Small pump stations, boiler feed lines, and residential plumbing.
· Marine Utility: Fuel oil and cooling water lines in compact shipboard engine rooms.
· Industrial Cooling: Process water loops for plastic injection or welding machinery.
For compact systems requiring reliable flexibility, consider these specialized technical configurations:
· The Standard HVAC Utility Choice: An EPDM Rubber Bellows with Galvanized Malleable Iron Unions. This is the most widely used configuration for fan coil units and domestic water heaters, offering excellent durability and vibration absorption at a cost-effective price point.
· The Petrochemical & Oil Specialist: Featuring an NBR (Nitrile) Inner Tube. This setup is essential for small-diameter fuel lines or lubrication systems, as it prevents the rubber from swelling or degrading when exposed to petroleum-based fluids.
· The High-Purity & Marine Model: Constructed with Stainless Steel (SS304/316) Unions. Designed for pharmaceutical water systems, food processing, or marine environments where galvanized iron would suffer from external corrosion or contaminate the media.
· The Potable Water Safety Configuration: Utilizing WRAS-approved EPDM rubber and Lead-Free Bronze Unions. This is the premium choice for drinking water distribution, ensuring zero contamination and compliance with international health standards.
