Would seem to defeat the purpose if it did. But I don't have any of the manf cut sheets in front of me either. Cliff Whitfield, SET President Fire Design, Inc.

Is anyone aware of a similar accepted amount of deflection in non-flexible couplings? Haven't found anything making specific reference to that yet ...
