This non fragmenting design is offered in an extensive size and material range, bringing, enhanced protection, reliability and leak-tightness through its unique tri-membrane construction.
   
  • Can be used with Elfab’s unique ATEX approved Integral Flo-Tel™ burst detection
  • Very low pressure capability
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Non torque-sensitive
  • Non-fragmenting design
