Description
Tied Universal Expansion Joints are constructed with two stainless steel bellows of an equal length separated by a center pipe just like a standard universal joint.
With the addition of tie rods this metal bellows expansion joint does not require main anchors in the pipe run.
The tie rods are designed to carry the full pressure thrust load and allow for lateral movement.
Axial compression and extension are not allowed on Tied Universal Expansion Joints. If angular movement is required only (2) tie rods can be used.
