In 1980, Suiken aimed to improve the most important safety of joints in lifelines and developed the industry’s first ductile cast iron ball-type flexible expansion joint. The “SUPER FLEX” offers substantial deformation absorption capabilities in all directions, with over 110,000 units in use. It has demonstrated excellent seismic quality by protecting pipelines from separation and damage during major earthquakes, including the San Francisco earthquake (1989), the Los Angeles earthquake (1994), and the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (1995) and others.

“Menshin Bender” is the joint developed for earthquake mitigation building services to adapt large-scale horizontal displacement. The force-balanced type of “MB-MK” incorporates a pressure-balancing structure to suppress the generation of thrust due to internal pressure and greatly reduce thrust fixation.

“VP Bender” is a flexible expansion joint for drainage pipelines that smoothly adapts to twisting, bending, and settlement caused by earthquake and ground subsidence. Installed at the connections of structures such as buildings or factories, it flexibly absorbs complex loads applied to drainage pipelines and safely protects the pipelines.

“Flex-Jointer” is a flexible expansion joint for earthquake resistance pipelines for optical fiber cables or communication cables.
