Carbon Steel Expansion Joint Metal Pipe Joint

Steel Expansion Joint Metal Pipe Joint

The metal pipe joint quickly connects valves, pumps, meters and pipe assemblies.Designed for ease of use, the expansion joint is easy to install and allows for fast periodical maintenance whenever required.

And was developed to provide greater versatility for the designer at the planning stage and the engineer in the installation stage of flanged pipe work systems and to allow for simple maintenance programmes.

Allows for Adjustment 

The Steel Expansion Joint Metal Pipe Joint are double flanged fittings that accommodate up to 100mm (4”) longitudinal adjustment and can be locked at the required length with the tie bars supplied. Not only does this system allow for fast, easy maintenance of valves, pumps or meters, it simplifies future pipe work modifications and reduces downtime when changes need to be made.
Easy to Install

The installation is also straightforward using just a spanner and torque wrench to tighten the high tensile steelor stainless steel tie bars. With fewer tie bars than flange holes and the tie bars acting as flange jointing bolts the process is speeded up but still offers a secure, rigid, fully end load resistant system with a pressure rating equal to that of the flange.
The Range
A comprehensive range is available from DN40 (1½”) to DN2400 (80”) with virtually any flange drilling or pressure rating supplied, although larger sizes and custom made Dismantling Joints can be designed and built on request.

Full Flange Sealing 

For applications where a full-face flange is required, i.e. wafer and butterfl y valves, the flange of the spigot piece provides a full flange sealing area.
Excellent Corrosion Protection  

The flange adaptor and flange spigot are coated with WRAS approved Rilsan Nylon 11 providing excellent protection from transport, storage, site and corrosion damage. The tie bars are Zinc Plated as standard with other coatings, grades and finishes available on request. The nuts and bolts are Sheraplex coated to WIS-4-52-03, offering long term protection against corrosion.

Simple to Fit     

Harnessing is accommodated within the bolt circle, eliminating other complex anchoring systems and reducing space requirements.
Ultimate Sealing Capability   

The EPDM gasket in the dismantling joint is compressed independently of the tie bars with the sealing capability secured as soon as the fasteners reach required torque.
