Pipe Guides
Keflex™ Pipe Guides are designed to maintain positive pipe alignment by restricting lateral movement while allowing axial expansion. Featuring a rugged carbon steel spider-housing design and protective coating, these guides direct motion into the expansion joint for smooth, trouble-free operation.
Used alongside expansion joints, loops, and compensators, Keflex pipe guides protect the pipe, mechanical equipment, and expansion devices from misalignment or vibration. Available in pre-insulated models and bolted split-housing configurations for easy assembly and fast field installation, they’re built to perform under the most demanding conditions.
