EZ-FLO® Style 206 Pipe Expansion Joint, DETECTOMER® FDA Compliant Nitrile Tube Material, Chlorobutyl Cover Material, Nylon Tire Cord Body Material, 16 inch Inside Diameter, 8.000 inch Face-to-Face Length, 1 Hollow Arch, Holes for Following Flange Standard(s): ASME Class 125/150 A; Blue Coating

Garlock’s Style 206 EZ-FLO® with a DETECTOMER® tube is metal and X-Ray detectable, FDA compliant (21CFR177.2600). DETECTOMER® is a proprietary nitrile elastomer material compatible with most animal fat and vegetable oil food products, providing good resistance to abrasion and water absorption. Tested and validated by third party laboratories for detectability and visual contrast, the blue color allows for additional contamination detection by automated vision and manual systems.

Style 206 spool-type non-metallic piping expansion joints are manufactured with Garlock’s self-flushing flowing arch design, eliminating the media build up responsible for premature failure in other wide arch designs. This proprietary construction reduces fluid turbulence, often the culprit of catastrophic piping and equipment failure. Intended for use in dynamic, high-pressure applications where low spring rates and higher movements are a requirement.

Style 206 is available in the following cover material options to protect the exterior of your expansion joint: Chlorobutyl for general service, EPDM and Fluoroelastomer for UV, ozone, water impermeability and temperatures up to 300°F. Neoprene is an excellent choice for marine use, while utility grade Nitrile is perfect for oily environments. For added durability, all Garlock expansion joints are painted with a proprietary blue protective coating.
