PROCO-RE

The PROCO Series RE-221 Rubber Eccentric Reducer Expansion Joint, often called a “Taper”, serves as a reducing element to transition from one pipe size to another. Eccentric in design, the rubber expansion joint body tapers on one side transitioning two different flange sizes. Eccentric Reducer Expansion Joints are often located on the suction side of a pump to reduce cavitation. The PROCO Rubber Eccentric Reducer is engineered to replace metallic or rubber-lined reducers used to provide unequal diameter connections of: piping and/or operating equipment applications such as: Pumps, Chillers, Cooling Towers, Compressors, Blowers, Fans, Absorption Machines, etc. Installed next to mechanical equipment or between the anchor points of a piping system, specify the PROCO Series RE-221 to: (1) Absorb Pipe Movement/Stress, (2) Reduce System Noise, (3) Isolate Mechanical Vibration, (4) Compensate Alignment/Offset, (5) Eliminate Electrolysis, (6) Protect Against Start-up/Surge Forces. The PROCO Series RE-221 is engineered for tough, demanding, industrial and commercial applications, as found in: Air Conditioning-Heating and Ventilating Systems, Chemical-Petrochemical and Industrial Process Piping Systems, Power Generating Plants, Steel Mills, Marine Services, Pulp/Paper Systems, Water-Wastewater- Sewage and Pollution Control Systems, where metallic reducers used in conjunction with metal hose or expansion joints may have been previously used or specified. Our history in manufacture of expansion joint products dates back to 1930. PROCO Products is a member of the Rubber Expansion Joint Division, Fluid Sealing Association. When a rubber expansion joint is needed to solve a piping system problem, call PROCO.
