High Temperature
Style 1101HT
General Rubber’s Style 1101HT rubber expansion joints are designed for higher temperature applications. The spool type body is constructed with a high temperature resistant EPDM or Viton® leak-proof tube and seamless cover with Kevlar® high temperature and high-strength tire cord reinforcement. The construction includes full rubber flanges, high tensile steel reinforcement and hot dip galvanized steel retaining rings. Additionally, they are designed to 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. 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 externally or internally attached and used as limit rods for secondary restraint or as tie rods when the support structure or adjacent equipment have load limitations.
