    Shown Installed on a Flanged Pipe

    These joints reduce stress, vibration, and noise in piping systems by providing a point of flexibility to absorb movement. The flanged ends rotate for easy bolt hole alignment during installation. They mate with a same-size flat-surface Class 150 flange without the need for a gasket. Joints have a flexible body that is reinforced with nylon for added strength.
    Position the expansion joints as close as possible to anchor points.

    Limit Rod

    Limit Rod Sets—Attach limit rod sets (sold separately) to the flanges to prevent overextension where anchoring is insufficient. To accommodate the thickness of the limit rod mounting plate, use bolts that are 7/8" longer than the bolts connecting the expansion joint to the pipe flange. Each set of limit rods requires eight bolts (not included).

    Chemical-Resistant Pipe Expansion Joints with Flanged Ends

    The PTFE body on these expansion joints has a super-smooth surface that stands up to corrosive chemicals. Joints have a triple-bulb design that provides excellent vibration absorption, reducing stress on your piping system. The flanges mate with a same-size flat-surface Class 150 flange without the need for a gasket. Limit rods are attached to the flanges to prevent overextension.

    Pipe Expansion Joints with Threaded Ends

    Connect male threaded pipe to these expansion joints to add a point of flexibility in your line that reduces stress, vibration, and noise. These joints have a double-bulb design that absorbs more movement and vibration than other expansion joints. Made of neoprene, they’re more abrasion resistant than silicone rubber joints. Their flexible body is reinforced with nylon for added strength.

    Shown Installed on a Flanged Pipe

    These joints reduce stress, vibration, and noise in plastic piping systems by providing a point of flexibility to absorb movement. Joints provide a tighter seal than other expansion joints because the flanges are molded into the body for a wide sealing surface. Each flange is supported by a zinc-plated steel plate. Flanges mate with a same-size flat-surface Class 150 flange without the need for a gasket.
    Position the expansion joints as close as possible to anchor points.

    The EPDM lining in these joints meets NSF/ANSI 61 standard for use with drinking water. To reduce stress, vibration, and noise in piping systems, they provide a point of flexibility to absorb movement. These joints have a flexible body reinforced with polyester plastic cord for added strength. A zinc-plated steel plate supports each flange. The flanges mate with the same-size flat-surface Class 150 flange without the need for a gasket.

    Pipe Expansion Joints with Socket Connection for Plastic Pipe

    Reduce stress, vibration, and noise in your plastic socket-connect piping system by creating a point of flexibility. These expansion joints have a double-bulb design, so they absorb even more movement and vibration than other expansion joints. Their body is EPDM that's reinforced with nylon for added strength.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

    Connect different pipe sizes in your line while adding a point of flexibility between them. These expansion joints absorb movement between two connected pipes to reduce stress, vibration, and noise. Their flanged ends mate with same-size Class 150 flanges without the need for a gasket. Each flange is supported by a zinc-plated steel plate. The body of these expansion joints is reinforced with cord for added strength.
    Your pipe system must be rigidly anchored on both sides of the expansion joint to control expansion or contraction of the line. When proper anchoring cannot be provided, limit rods (sold separately) are required.
