801 / 802 Expansion Joint
Description
JCM Expansion Joints facilitate up to 10 inches of concentrated pipe movement, accommodating the normal expansion and contraction of pipelines affected by fluctuations in environmental and line content temperatures. These expansion joints are crafted using a telescoping design comprising a fabricated steel body or housing, which houses an inserted internal “slip pipe” that moves within it.
This flexible movement absorbs the linear or axial movement of the pipe section. Within the fabricated steel body, there is a “packing” area consisting of alternating rings of lubricated flax and rubber, ensuring a watertight seal during the joint’s cycling. JCM Expansion Joints offer various design options, including end connections, coatings, limit rods, stainless steel fabrication, and more.
Custom-manufactured for each specific application, JCM Expansion Joints allow for the integration of special options or engineered features required for the installation.
