Eccentric Rubber Reducer Joint

The Eccentric Rubber Reducer Joint, also known as Eccentric Rubber Expansion Joint or Offset Rubber Reducer, is engineered to connect pipelines of different diameters while maintaining a smooth flow direction. Its offset (eccentric) design effectively prevents air pockets and reduces flow turbulence, making it especially suitable for horizontal pipelines, pump inlets, and drainage systems. Manufactured from high-quality EPDM, NBR, or custom rubber compounds and equipped with robust steel flanges, this joint ensures superior vibration absorption, displacement compensation, and alignment correction in various industrial applications.

Key Features

• Eccentric Structure – Prevents air entrapment and ensures smooth horizontal flow.
•Size Transition – Connects pipes of different diameters flexibly.
•Displacement Absorption – Compensates for thermal and mechanical movement.
•Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for water, oil, chemical, and wastewater media.
•Easy Installation – Aligns misaligned pipes and saves labor cost.
•Also Known As – Rubber Offset Coupling, Eccentric Expansion Joint, Flexible Eccentric Connector.

1.Inspection Before Installation
•Check whether the rubber joint is damaged, aged, or defective.
•Confirm the model, pressure rating, and flange size match the system requirements.
2.Installation Environment
•Avoid installation under direct sunlight, ozone, or in environments with high temperature or strong corrosive chemicals.
•If outdoor installation is necessary, use UV-protective shields or covers.
3.Installation Instructions
•Align the rubber joint with the center of the pipe flanges. Avoid pulling or twisting during installation.
•Tighten bolts crosswise and evenly to avoid uneven force or deformation.
•Use proper washers and gaskets.
4.Precautions
•Ensure the pipeline is properly fixed; rubber joints are not designed to bear the full weight.
•Do not over-extend, over-compress, or apply excessive torsion to the joint.
•Allow for movement as specified (axial, lateral, angular) within rated limits.
•Install limit rods or anti-pull devices if the pipe system lacks sufficient fixation.
5.Working Pressure & Temperature
•Observe the rated pressure and temperature range during operation.
•Standard range: -15°C to +115°C (or as specified).
6.Routine Inspection & Maintenance
•Inspect every 6–12 months for signs of aging, damage, or leakage.
•Replace if any abnormalities are found.
