1. Absorbs Directional Movement
Thermal movements appear in any rigid pipe system due to temperature changes. The Single Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint low profile wide arch allows for axial compression or axial extension, lateral deflection as well as angular and torsional movements. (Note: Rated movements in this publication are based on one plane movements. Multiple movement conditions are based on a multiple movement calculation. Contact Ldflex for information when designing multiple pipe movements. )

2. Less Turbulence or Material Entrapment

The Style expansion joints are manufactured with the integral rubber flange joining the body at a true 90º Angle. This ensures the product will install snug against the mating pipe flange free of voids creating less turbulence in the pipe system. The Single Sphere Rubber Expansion Joint also has a self-flushing arch which eliminates media buildup and the need for a filled arch spool joint resulting in greater movement capability and lower spring rates.
