Notes:
1. The degree of angular movement is based on the maximum rated extension.
2. Torsional movement is expressed when the expansion joint is a neutral length.
3. To determine “end thrust”, multiply thrust factor by operating pressure of system.
4. Pressure rating is based on 170
°
F operating temperature. At higher temperature
the pressure rating is slightly reduced.
5. Weights are approximate.
6. Control unit weight consists of one rod, four washers, three nuts and two control
rod plates. Multiply number of control units needed for application (as specified in
the Fluid Sealing Association Technical Handbook) to determine correct weights.
7. Dimensions shown are in accordance with 125/150# standards of ANSI B-16.1,
B-16.24, B-16.5; AWWA C-207 Table 1 and 2 Class D.
DISTRIBUTED BY:
Warning: Expansion joints may operate in pipelines or equipment carrying fluids and/or gases at elevated temperatures and pressures. Normal precautions should be taken to make sure these parts are installed correctly and inspected regularly.
Precautions should be taken to protect personnel in the event of leakage or splash. Note: Piping must be properly aligned and anchored to prevent damage to an expansion joint. Movement must not exceed specified ratings and control units are always
recommended to prevent damage in the event other anchoring in the system fails. Properties applications shown throughout this data sheet are typical. This information does not constitute a warranty or representation and we assume no legal
responsibility or obligation with respect thereto and the use to which such information may be put. Your specific application should not be undertaken without independent study and evaluation for suitability.
