HVAC PUMP METAL BELLOWS
How to specify a metal expansion joint
We design and manufacture metal expansion joints so you are not restricted to our range of standard products, some of which are available in our web shop. For simpler applications a standard product may be entirely suitable but if not we will design to meet your exact requirements.
Metal bellows have a defined fatigue life based on movement cycles. Understanding the movements, if they are concurrent or not and the realistic number of times the movements can occur is fundamental to metal bellows design.
Metal bellows work well up to around 500ºC, above that we use insulation to control the actual bellows metal temperature if the media is above this temperature. Pressure and temperature must be known to select a metal expansion joint.
The most common material used for metal bellows is Stainless Steel – 304, 321, 316 – and for more demanding applications Nickel Alloys – 625, 800, 825. Corrosion is the most likely failure mode for the bellows itself so the correct material selection is important.
Our standard ranges have set lengths for each diameter / movement range but we can design to meet your exact requirements. Making the bellows longer will increase the available movement. Most commonly a flange, we can provide to any specification, or pipe weld ends. Our HVAC standard product is available with BSP Union ends and Copper Pipe ends. If you are uncertain about what flange type you already have installed our Flange Finder will help you identify it.

HVAC Metal Pump Bellows Finders and Calculators
We have a couple easy to use tools and calculators to help you find the right HVAC Metal Pump Bellows from our online stock with next-day UK delivery. See below. Our Thermal Expansion Calculator for Piping might also helps you estimate the increase in length of a pipe run with temperature. Our Advanced Bellows Finder is a quick way to navigate our stock range of bellows, both metal and rubber. With just a few choices you can arrive at the appropriate selection – criteria include pipe size, type, media compatibility, installation length, pressure rating, pipe connection type, conformance and movement axial, lateral and angular. All the products are in the online store with 24hr shipping as standard. If you’re not sure what flange you need, our handy Flange Finder should also be useful.

Frequently Asked Questions
A. Our Flange Finder contains details for many common flanges. Typically, to be able to make the identification you need to know the bore size or outside diameter and number of bolts. For technical assistance contact us or use our Live Chat facility.
A. Yes, FlexEJ has full design capability for engineered metal expansion joints and can work to any recognised standard – typically EJMA, B31.3/Appendix X, EN14917 plus PED and/or other customer specifications. Engineered rubber expansion joints are typically designed to meet the FSA guidelines plus PED and/or other customer specifications For technical assistance please contact us or use the Live Help link on this page.
A. Yes, if you have the details we can normally offer an equivalent, our FAQ here gives the information we will need for a full selection. For technical assistance please contact us or use the Live Chat link on this page.
A. To identify an existing expansion joint we need to know: nominal bore, overall length and flange type plus service, temperature, pressure and required movement if known. Try our Flange Finder to help identify the flange and you can send us a picture of the existing part using the Contact us form. For technical assistance please contact us or use the LIVE CHAT link on this page.
A. Yes, our MRCA copper ended metal expansion joints also have WRAS approval. We laso have DWI approval for stainless steel expansion joints. For technical assistance please contact us or use the Live Chat link on this page.
