Universal expansion joint

A universal expansion joint is an extended arrangement for combined or lateral movement, but the title alone does not prove bellows count, centre spool, or restraint for a Fittopipe product. Actual construction, movement direction, pressure thrust, loads, anchors, and guides must come from order drawings and calculations.

Application and duty

Complex movement accommodation after construction and full piping analysis are verified

TECHNICAL REFERENCE
