Anchors
Engineered to EJMA standards, Keflex™ pipe anchors are essential for directing thermal expansion and preventing misalignment in piping systems. Installed at key points along each run, these anchors restrain pipe ends to ensure all expansion is absorbed by the compensator or expansion joint, preventing bowing, buckling, or stress-related damage.
Designed for industrial, HVAC, and mechanical applications, Keflex anchors withstand the end-thrust forces of internal pressure while maintaining long-term system integrity. When installed with proper pipe guides, they provide a reliable, code-compliant foundation for safe and efficient operation.
Features & Benefits
– EJMA-Compliant Design – Built and recommended in accordance with EJMA standards to ensure proper system restraint and alignment.
– Critical System Restraint – Provides the fixed point needed to direct all pipe expansion into the compensator.
– High Thrust Load Capacity – Engineered to withstand internal pressure end thrust forces and thermal movement stresses.
– Prevents Misalignment & Buckling – Works in conjunction with guides to prevent pipe bowing or deformation due to thermal expansion.
– Reliable Operation – Ensures expansion joints and compensators perform as designed for maximum service life.
– Durable Construction – Manufactured from heavy-duty materials for use in demanding industrial and mechanical systems.
