KP Series
- DW
- GZ
- TE
- DN 32 to 300
- 25 bar
- L 130mm
- Self-stabilizing
Thanks to its self-stabilizing design, the KP series exerts no stress on the piping at its equilibrium length, even at 25 bar. Simplify your support calculations and eliminate the need for tie rods.
Table of Dimensions and Mechanical Performance
The series covers a wide range of drilling diameters and templates. Displacement capacities are detailed in the table below.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Dilatoflex® KP range covers applications with operating pressures ranging from 16 to 25 bar.
Absolutely! The Dilatoflex® KP expansion joint is self-stable. Installed at its self-stability length, the expansion joint exerts no force on the piping, provided it is not compressed, and it does not require stabilizing tie rods.
