Accessories of Rotary Joints — built to complete the rotating steam & fluid circuit

A rotary joint rarely works alone. Flexible hoses connect it to fixed pipework without stressing either end, and syphon elbows and syphon systems draw condensate out of steam-heated rotating cylinders so the joint can do its job efficiently. Carbon Rotofluid supplies the full set of accessories alongside the joint itself, matched to the same operating conditions.

Three components that complete the rotary joint installation

Each accessory below is available separately or matched to a specific rotary joint order, sized and rated for the same steam, thermic fluid, or pressure conditions as the joint it connects to.

Flexible Hose

Connects the rotary joint to the fixed machine pipework while absorbing misalignment, vibration, and thermal expansion — so neither the joint nor the pipe run carries stress it wasn't designed for. Available in braided stainless steel construction rated for steam, thermic fluid, and high-pressure water service, sized to match the joint's port connection.

Syphon Elbow

A precision-formed fitting mounted inside the rotating cylinder that directs condensate from the siphon pipe into the rotary joint's outlet passage as the cylinder turns. Manufactured to suit the cylinder's internal diameter and rotation speed, keeping condensate flow steady across the full operating range.

Syphon System

The complete condensate removal assembly — siphon pipe, syphon elbow, and rotary joint working together — that continuously extracts condensate from a steam-heated rotating cylinder. Supplied as a matched system so condensate is removed at the rate steam condenses, keeping heat transfer efficient across the full width of the cylinder.
