Dual Universal Tied Metal Expansion Joint

The universal Expansion Joint is particularly well adapted to the absorption of lateral deflection. In addition, this design may be used to absorb axial movement, angular rotation or any combination of the three. A common application of the universal Expansion Joint is its use as a tied Expansion Joint in a 90 degree piping offset with the tie rods adjusted to prevent external axial movement.
