Flexible Seismic Loops

SEISMIC ML LOOP. See all Flexible Expansion Loops . OVERVIEW The ML Loop has become the expert method of designing for seismic movements in piping systems. The ML Loop has low spring loads, and also eliminates pressure thrust loads, in order to minimize stress on seismic bracing. And with allowed long movements in any direction, the ML Loop is

We supply flexible pipe loops known asTri-Flex Loops, which are capable of simultaneous random movement in three axes. No pipeline guides are required. and is designed to facilitate quick and easy hanging support using the UL-listed seismic wire roop provided in our UL-listed hanging assemblies. 11 Quality assurance includes the

Unisource quotFireVquot flexible seismic loops are built to accommodate the unpredictable movements of fire sprinkler piping during seismic incidents. The innovative designs of our quotFireVquot combines flexible, braided stainless steel hose and braid with piping elbows to provide an engineered solution to seismic movement, while not requiring a

Dual-listed by UL and FM, Flex-Hose AssureFlex expansion loops are an optimal solution for challenging piping connection applications in commercial and industrial fire protection systems - including seismic building joints and efforts to minimize or compensate for thermal pipe expansions. Better still, they are manufactured in the U.S.A. for consistent, reliable, and cost-effective sourcing.

Unisource quotFireVquot flexible seismic loops are built to accommodate the unpredictable movements of fire sprinkler piping during seismic incidents.The innovative designs of our quotFireVquot combines flexible, braided stainless steel hose and braid with piping elbows to provide an engineered solution to seismic movement, while not requiring a change of direction.

Flexicraft manufactures quality flexible pipe loops as an important alternative in adding flexibility to a piping system. 800-533-1024. 312-738-3588 These loops are used primarily in seismic zones to minimize the possibility of gas line ruptures. CSAAGA ML LOOP

KINFLEX Seismic V-loops solve the problems of pipe motion caused by thermal pipe growth and the movements associated with seismic activity.

The Metraloop flexible expansion loop takes up a fraction of the space of a hard pipe loop, has the lowest anchor load, and requires minimal guiding. 800.621.4347 The best way to absorb thermal growth and seismic movement. Develops minimal anchor loads, resulting in minimal guiding and anchoring requirements

Anchor loads in regard to the Seismic quotVquot Loops are confined to the relatively small spring forces required to deflect the flexible legs within the loop. Unlike expansion joints, a minimum of pipe guiding is required. The standard position for the Seismic quotVquot Loop is in a horizontal pipe run, with the elbow pointing straight down.

NFPA 13 specifies that that the seismic device flexible pipe loop be no more than 2 feet from the seismic separation. What a lot of designers and users do not understand is that in a seismic event very often one leg of a seismic loop takes all of the movement, while the other leg sees very little movement as shown in the details below.
