Exhaust Flex Connectors

Type 321 stainless steel corrugated exhaust flex provides a high temperature vibration isolator at the engine manifold. These connections are used in a variety of engine applications including standby generators and emergency fire pumps. For critical applications such as prime power generation or marine exhaust high performance multi-ply bellows can be furnished in the following configurations: DME builds to your exact specifications.

Type 1 - Fixed Flanges Each End

Flanges are heli-arc welded directly to the flex hose. 1/2" thick plate flanges can be furnished in carbon steel or stainless steel. No extra charge for Caterpillar, Cummins, or Detroit flanges.

Type 2 - Fixed By Floating Flanges

The floating flange will insure proper bolt hole alignment. When bolted, the rotating flange secures the stub end, gasket, and mating flange together affecting a seal.

Type 25 - Flanges By Increasing Flange

With the increasing flange on the down streamside of the flex connector, this is an economical way to make a size transition on any flex connector or expansion joint. DME stocks increasing flanges for all flex sizes offered. Also available in stainless steel.

Type 12 - Flange By Cone Increasing Flange

Sheet metal conical transitions provide a smooth flow when increasing the system pipe diameter. The flex connector length must be increased to accommodate the cone.

Type 37 - Flange By Cone Reducing Flange

By increasing the diameter at the manifold or turbo charger, the system backpressure can be reduced. Cones are produced and stocked in T-321 high temperature stainless steel and carbon steel materials.

Type 11 - Flange By 90 Degree Turbo Flange

The turbo flange mates directly to the turbocharger outlet with a v-band clamp. This eliminates the cost of the machined turbo flanges to fit Detroit, Cummins, and Caterpillar engines.

Type 22 - 90-Degree Lip By Flange

This assembly also eliminated the need for a factory adapter. DME uses short radius elbows to provide a compact assembly. Increasing flanges are commonly used to make a system size transition.

Type 30A - Flange Offset Flex Assembly

When the engine exhaust outlet and roof penetration are not lined up an offset flex assembly is an extremely economical solution. For compact installations and additional flexibility multi-ply bellows can be used.

Type 28 - Flange By Spacer Flange

Flex assemblies made to fit any space requirements by incorporating a carbon steel or stainless steel spacer tube. Field welding and additional flanged connections are eliminated.
For .pdf Specifications  
 

Type 10 - Flange By 90 Degree Flange

Female NPT connection threads on to turbo charger elbow. As with all assemblies manufactured at DME we make them to the exact length to fit your installation.
For .pdf Specifications  
 

Type 27 - Female NPT By Flange

Female NPT connection threads on to turbo charger elbow. As with all assemblies manufactured at DME we make them to the exact length to fit your installation.

Type 3 - Male NPT By Flange

Male pipe threads can be used as a connection that will pass through a generator enclosure or a building penetration, keeping the hole diameter to a minimum.
For .pdf Specifications  
 

Type 2 - Male NPT By Male NPT

Male pipe threads are a popular choice for those who choose standard pipe fittings for their installation. Pipe threads can be furnished on long lengths to accommodate any space requirement.
For .pdf Specifications  
 

Type 4 - Beveled Weld End By Flange

Pipe ends beveled for welding can be furnished in carbon steel or stainless steel and in schedule 5, 10, or 40. Any type flange can be attached to the other end.

For .pdf Specifications  
 
Type 5 - Slotted Cuff By Flange

Slotted cuff connections are used with a U-bolt or band type clamps. DME makes cuffs to precisely fit any size tubing.

For .pdf Specifications  
 
Type 9 - Slotted Cuff By Slotted Cuff

Cuff type connections can be furnished in carbon steel or stainless steel. This assembly can be made without the slots and welded into the exhaust system.
For .pdf Specifications  
 

Type 6 - Male pipe thread By Slotted Cuff

This combination of fittings is just one of many. DME custom manufactures exhaust assembles with any weldable fitting.
