    Flexible Connectors
    BFM®’s flexible connectors are available in a wide range of diameters as shown in the table below. It is important that the appropriate connector
    length is selected for the space available. Pipe and spigot length can be adjusted to ensure the right fit within an appropriate Installation Gap (IG) for
    the connector length. The Installation Gap is always slightly smaller than the actual connector length to allow for ease of connector replacement and
    offset or movement during operation. Your BFM® distributor can advise on the correct IG for your connector length/application.
