Stainless Steel Bellows

These fully tested bellows can be supplied with KF, ISO & CF terminations. As well as hydroformed bellows we can supply edge welded on request.

The bellows and end fittings on the KF and ISO ranges are manufactured from high quality 316L stainless steel. On the CF range, the bellows are manufactured from 316L and the end fittings from 304L grade. The primary use of bellows is to suppress any vibration and correct miss-alignment between components.

Ball Valves

Ball valves are popular in applications where fast action and full bore pumping are needed. Creative Group’s valves combine these practical everyday features plus ease of use and economy in a high specification design.  Manufactured in 316L stainless steel with PTFE seats they deliver robust performance in a wide variety of vacuum duties. The precision engineered ball and PTFE cups contribute to the reliable flow control in a high quality construction.  This makes them ideal for applications spanning simple vacuum pump isolation to vacuum control in a production, OEM, or industrial laboratory environment. ‘O’ Ring sealed KF flanged models, used with a trapped ‘O’ Ring, are rated for pressure duties up to 7Bar absolute.  Threaded versions are also available for easy connection into a rough vacuum applications.

Stainless Steel Flexible Hoses

The flexible hose and end fittings on the KF and ISO ranges are manufactured from high quality 316L stainless steel. On the CF range, the flexible hose is manufactured from 316L and the end fittings from 304L grade. The flexibility of the hose allows for bridging large gaps in pipelines, without the need to adhere to close tolerances. The braided version of the hose is suitable for exhausted lines (size dependant).

The vacuum leak tightness of the bellow and hose assemblies is >1x10E-9mb (using He leak detection).
