Rubber Slip-On Sleeve

General Rubber’s Style 8101 single (1) arch sleeve type rubber expansion joints are designed with lower spring rates for reduced reaction forces and greater movement capabilities within a compact body. This optimally designed slip-on and lightweight construction represents the most cost-effective arrangement for low pressure applications. Mating flanges and hardware are not required, adding to the cost-effectiveness of this arrangement. The construction includes a high-grade leak-proof tube, a seamless cover, multiple layers of high-strength tire cord and stainless steel screw clamps. 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.

General Rubber’s Style 8102 double (2) arch sleeve type rubber expansion joints have twice the all-directional movement capabilities with half the spring rates of our single arch design.

General Rubber’s Style 8103 triple (3) arch sleeve type rubber expansion joints have triple the all-directional movement capabilities with one-third the spring rates of our single arch design.
