Style 1101ER Notes:

Eccentric Reducer 1. All parts listed are designed for (-1 Bar g) (full vacuum) and have a maximum test at (-0.9 Bar g)
due to facility altitude and equipment limitations.
2. Maximum operating temperature of 121˚C for EPDM, Butyl, Hypalon®, and Viton®; 107˚C for
Neoprene; 99˚C for Nitrile; 82˚C for Pure Gum Rubber; 149˚C for EPDM and Butyl in air services
at (1.7 Bar g) maximum; higher pressure and temperature ratings available.
3. All sizes can be supplied with a filled arch reducing their movements by 50% and increasing the
spring rates fourfold. Expansion Joints with ANSI/AWWA flanges have lengths (FF) in nominal inch
conversions unless otherwise agreed.
4. For full product specifications and installation instructions, see SPEC 1101CR/ER and ININ
1101CR/ER
5. WARNING: Controls units (sold separately) must be used when piping is not properly anchored.
Number of rods are dependent upon maximum field test pressures. Expansion joints may operate in
pipelines carrying fluids at elevated temperatures and pressures, so precaution should be taken to
ensure proper installation and regular inspection. Care is required to protect personnel in the event
of leakage or splash. Adequate floor drains are always recommended.
6. Movements are non-concurrent. Contact PosiFlex for concurrent movements, and for sizes
not shown up to 3600mm D.N.
7. Contact the PosiFlex for full details including availability of larger sizes, higher pressure and
temperature ratings, as well as additional arches. All sizes are designed for (-0.5 Bar g) vacuum,
full vacuum (-1 Bar g) designs available.
8. Gross weights include retaining rings.
