Style 530
The PROCO Series 520, Series 530, and Series 540 non-metallic connectors are designed to match inlet and outlet flanges of most industrial fan manufacturers and are found in: Ventilating Systems, Industrial Process Ducting Systems, Chemical-Petrochemical Plants, Power Generating Plants, Pulp/Paper Plants, Water-Waste Water Sewage and Odor Control Ducting Systems. Specify the PROCO Series 520, Series 530 and Series 540 non-metallic connectors for installation between anchor points or next to mechanical equipment such as: Fans, Blowers, Compressors and Hot Air Ducts. The PROCO Series 500 non-metallic flexible connectors are designed to: (1) Absorb Ducting Movements, (2) Reduce System Noise, (3) Isolate Vibration, (4) Compensate Alignment/ Offset. Our history in the manufacture of expansion joint products dates back to 1930. When an engineered solution is needed to solve a ducting problem, call PROCO. Engineered For Your Application: The PROCO Series 500 non-metallic connectors are available in U-Designs, Arch-Designs and W-Designs. Each style offers different movement and pressure ratings to fit required specification. Available styles include: Style 520: Known as a U-Type, this integrally flanged non-metallic connector is found in applications where large movements are required and where vibration and sound absorption are needed. This non-metallic fan connector can be manufactured in both round and rectangular shapes. Style 530: Known as an Arch-Type, this integrally flanged non-metallic connector is found in applications where large movements and short overall lengths are required. Primarily used for Clean Hot Air/Gas Service, the Style 530 is designed with a high profile molded arch, giving it exceptional movement capabilities. This nonmetallic connector can be manufactured in both round and rectangular shapes. Style 540: Known as a W-Type, this integrally flanged non-metallic connector is found in applications where large movements are required for Standard Hot Air/Gas Service. The Style 540 is designed with a molded radius allowing for greater movement capability and should be used when the U-Type (520) does not meet movement specifications. This non-metallic connector can be manufactured in both round and rectangular shapes. Other Styles Available From PROCO Include: Style 501 (Flat Belt Type), Style 502 (Flat Belt Arch-Type) and 190-K Navy Fan Connector (U-Type or Arch-Type). These styles are included in this brochure. Retaining Rings/Backing Bars. Retaining rings (round) or backing bars (rectangular) are required for Series 500 non-metallic connectors and can be furnished by PROCO upon request. Standard construction calls for 2" wide by 3/8" thick carbon steel bars drilled to customer specifications. Other materials of construction can be provided upon request. In addition, PROCO can also supply T-Bolt Latch Clamps for round applications under 20" ID. Available Fabric Materials. PROCO can manufacture the Series 500 non-metallic connectors in a wide selection of materials which include Chlorobutyl, Neoprene, Hypalon, EPDM and Viton. Material selection is dependent upon application. Consult the PROCO Chemical to Elastomer Guide (available upon request) for appropriate selection of materials. Information Ordering Pricing Delivery.

NOTES: 1. Lateral Offsets shown above are based on movements prior to axial compression. Greater lateral offset may be obtained if the fan/duct connector encounters simultaneous compression. 2. Axial extension may be increased by pre-compression of the fan/duct connector during installation. any precompression of the fan/duct connector will equally reduce the rated axial compression movement.

Style 501: Known as a Flat Belt Type, this non-metallic connector is primarily used for low pressure vibration applications and can be attached to existing metal frames or duct work. The PROCO Series 500, Style 501 duct connector can be manufactured in round or rectangular shapes and can be attached to metal surfaces using clamps (round applications), or backing bars (rectangular applications). The Style 501 can be manufactured in a variety of elastomers and can be sent to the field spliced endless and/or prepared for cold field splice. See Table 1 for material considerations. Style 502: Known as a Flat Belt Arch-Type, this non-metallic connector is used for low pressure applications where movements are required and can be attached to existing metal frames or duct work. The PROCO Series 500, Style 502 duct connector can be manufactured in round or rectangular shapes and can be attached to metal surfaces using clamps (round applications), retaining rings (round applications), or backing bars (rectangular applications). The Style 502 Flat Belt Arch-Type can be manufactured in a variety of elastomers and can be sent to the field in an endless connection only. See Table 1 for material considerations. Style 190-K: Known as a Navy Fan Connector, the Style 190K is manufactured of 3/16" thick polyester fabric reinforced neoprene MIL-R-6855, Class 2, Durometer 40.
