- Rectangular Expansion Joints are available in single miter or double miter corners.
- Circular Expansion Joints from 1" to 140"+.
- Any Expansion Joint available in single or multiple convolutions.
- End connections such as weld-in, flanged (bolt-in), or specially designed as may be required.
- Designed to carry duct loads and to reinforce ductwork strength, when required.
- Internal hinges, slots, pins, and guides available to prevent skewing or to help support the adjacent ductwork.
- It can be manufactured to yield low spring rates.
- All models can be externally insulated to limit heat loss.
- Excellent for steam service.
- Manufactured by certified welders. with AWS certifications
