Flexible Connectors are essential in isolating the transfer of noise and vibration from equipment. Not only do they reduce the transmission of noise and vibration, flexible connectors have a number of other benefits. They increase the efficiency of equipment and the resulting noise reduction can improve working conditions in facilities and offices. These benefits make Mason Flexible Connectors the best solution in many cases.
Braided Metal Flexible Connectors are specifically for misalignment, expansion/contraction and mitigating pipe forces to the equipment. Metal connectors are necessary for corrosive fluids and gases. They are also necessary for temperatures and pressures out of the rubber flex connector range.
We are proud to offer Mason Flexible Metal Connectors. As a forward-thinking and innovative company, Mason has designed, engineered, and marketed their own stainless steel flex connectors. They identified and addressed vibration isolation challenges in equipment connected to piping, resulting in a superior product.
Development included using ‘closed pitch’ (greater number of convolutions per inch) hose. Establishing, through testing, the most effective length to achieve acceptable vibration isolation was key to Masons’ success.
All their hard work, research, testing and development paid off. Mason Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Connectors are of outstanding quality with various fitting options, lengths and applications. Most of the connectors are Braided Flexible Connectors as they provide additional flexibility.

* In seismic areas, it is important to exclusively select longer length Mason Flexible Connectors. Seismic ‘V-loops’ are ideal with 2 long length, closed pitch connectors set at an appropriate angle to each other, in the assembly. The result is that large movements in all three planes are accommodated during a dynamic event.
