Product overviewAbsorbs thermal expansion, contraction and vibration in piping systems. Constructed with nylon-reinforced EPDM, these expansion joints provide flexibility and durability for industrial fluid handling. The unit features galvanized carbon steel flanges with a hardened steel flange ring for a secure connection. It reduces noise and protects sensitive equipment from mechanical stress. Design permits significant axial movement, lateral movement and a maximum deflection of 35°. Maximum working temperature indicated as 104°C; pressure ratings up to 230 psi are referenced in product data.
