General Rubber’s Style 5100D dismantling rubber expansion joint is designed for self-retraction to facilitate access to piping and equipment as well as for unmatched ease of installation and subsequent removal. Additionally, they are designed to absorb large all-directional movements, reduce noise and vibration, have a cycle life in the tens of millions, compensate for misalignments and relieve pipe and anchor stresses. Its spool type body is constructed with full rubber flanges, a high-grade leak-proof tube, multiple layers of high strength tire cord, high tensile steel reinforcement, a seamless cover and hot dip galvanized steel retaining rings. Control units are typically internally attached and used as limit rods for secondary restraint or as tie rods when the support structure or adjacent equipment have load limitations.
