Lateral Expansion Joints

Lateral expansion joints are designed to accommodate thermal pipe expansion in a lateral direction. Two types are available; the most commonly used is the 'fully articulating' type as it permits lateral deflection in any direction, whereas the 'double hinged' type permits lateral deflection in one plane only. These models have either mixed carbon steel / stainless steel internal parts OR stainless steel to ALL wetted parts, and can be used accordingly on steel, stainless steel or copper flanged pipe systems for the following applications: Low temperature Heating (LTHW) Medium Temp Heating (MTHW) High Temp Heating (HTHW) Domestic Hot Water (DHWS) Steam and Condensate
