EZ-FLO® Style 206 Pipe Expansion Joint, FDA Compliant EPDM Tube Material, Chlorobutyl Cover Material, Nylon Tire Cord Body Material, 6.000 inch Inside Diameter, 10.500 inch Face-to-Face Length, 1 Hollow Arch, Holes for Following Flange Standard(s): ASME Class 125/150 A; Blue Paint

Garlock’s Style 206 EZ-FLO® Expansion Joint with a with a SURE-TEC™ tube offers the industry’s safest premium grade blue EPDM rubber. This proprietary material provides exceptional resistance to water absorption and unrivaled performance in abrasive and alkaline applications. Assure technical compliance to the stringent requirements of both NSF/ANSI/CAN-61 for products used in potable drinking water as well as the food contact requirements of FDA 21CFR177.2600 with a SURE-TEC™ tube.

Style 206 spool-type non-metallic piping expansion joints are manufactured with Garlock’s self-flushing flowing arch design, eliminating the media build up responsible for premature failure in other wide arch designs. This proprietary construction reduces fluid turbulence, often the culprit of catastrophic piping and equipment failure. Garlock style 206 is intended for use in dynamic, high-pressure applications where low spring rates and higher movements are a requirement.

Recommended for aqueous (water-based) food services. For other FDA compliant food contact, consider upgrading to a DETECTOMER® Nitrile tube.

Style 206 is available in the following cover material options to protect the exterior of your expansion joint: Chlorobutyl for general service, EPDM and Fluoroelastomer for UV, ozone, water impermeability and temperatures up to 300°F. Neoprene is an excellent choice for marine use, while utility grade Nitrile is perfect for oily environments.

For added durability, all Garlock expansion joints are painted with a proprietary blue protective coating.
