Economical Single Wide Arch

General Rubber’s Style 1015 rubber expansion joints represent our most cost-effective full pressure single wide arch design. An optional Teflon liner is available for optimal temperature and chemical resistance. 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, provide access to piping and equipment 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. This construction, as a standalone expansion joint, represents the most cost-effective arrangement when used in rigid piping systems with main anchors (MA) and numerous guides at specific spacing. Control units can be used as limit rods for secondary restraint or as tie rods when the support structure or adjacent equipment have load limitations.
