RUBBER EXPANSION JOINTS
Our Rubber Bellows Expansion Joints provide time-tested ways to accommodate pressure loads, relieve movement stresses, reduce noise, isolate vibration, compensate for misalignment after plants go on stream, and prolong the life of motive equipment and piping systems. Our hand-crafted rubber bellows expansion joints are available in single and multi-arch designs and are custom-engineered to fit your requirements. We offer a variety of configurations including PTFE-lined, eccentric reducing, concentric reducing, filled arch, lightweight and off-set configurations. Rubber expansion joints can be designed to operate up to 200 psi and withstand temperatures of up to 500º F. Our size capabilities range from 1/2″ to 144″. We are here to help you find the optimal design for your application.
