Choosing a rubber bellow
Match the bellow to the pipe size and to the flange drilling on the pipework it connects to, because the drilling pattern has to line up with your flanges. Then choose the rubber for the fluid and temperature: EPDM and NBR suit different media, so check the data sheet against the fluid in your system. NBR is the usual choice where oil or fuel is present, while EPDM is commonly used for water and many other general services. Allow for the movement you need to absorb, and check pressure and temperature limits before you order.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the flange drilling, rubber type, pressure and temperature rating suit your system.

Rubber bellows FAQs
What is a rubber bellow used for?
A flanged rubber bellow is fitted between pipes or between a pipe and a pump or other equipment. It absorbs movement, vibration and small misalignment so these loads do not pass into the pipework.
What is the difference between EPDM and NBR bellows?
They are different rubbers for different fluids. NBR is commonly used with oils and fuels, and EPDM with water and many general services. Check the data sheet against your fluid.
What sizes do you list?
EPDM bellows from 1-1/4 to 24 inch and NBR bellows from 2 to 6 inch. Not every size is listed in every flange drilling, so check the product page.
How do I choose the flange drilling?
Match it to the flanges on your pipework. We list several drilling options, including Table E and Table D, so confirm yours before ordering.
