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.
8. 1" I.D. through 12" I.D. have white PTFE liners.
12" I.D. through 48" I.D. have clear FEP liners.
9. Teflon liner extends to bolt holes’ center line only.
10. Available in filled arch configuration only.

Warning: Expansion joints may operate in pipelines or equipment carrying
fluids and/or gases at elevated temperatures and pressures. Normal precau-
tions 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 an-
chored to prevent damage to an expansion joint. Movement must not exceed
specified ratings and control units are always recommended to prevent dam-
age in the event other anchoring in the system fails. Properties applications
shown throughout this data sheet are typical. This information does not con-
stitute 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 indepen-
dent study and evaluation for suitability.
