Flexible Ball & Expansion Joints
FLEX-TEND® Force Balanced Flexible Expansion Joints
- Flexible Expansion Joints for Pipelines
- Available is sizes 3" to 48"
FLEX-TEND Force Balanced Flexible Expansion Joints are designed to protect water pipeline systems from the stresses produced by ground motion either from seismic activity or gradual soil subsidence. The Force Balanced FLEX-TEND unlike conventional flexible/expansion joints does not generate an axial thrust that must be compensated for.
FLEX-TEND® Flexible Expansion Joint
- Flexible Expansion Joints for Pipelines
- Available is sizes 2" to 48"
FLEX-TEND Flexible Expansion Joints are designed to protect water or wastewater pipeline systems from the stresses produced by ground motion or shear either from seismic activity or gradual soil subsidence.
FLEX-TEND® DWV Flexible Expansion Joints
- Flexible Expansion Joint for use in drain, waste and vent (DWV) non-pressurized piping.
- Available is sizes 3" to 8"
Designed to give Deflection and or Expansion/Contraction needs to protect gravity drain pipeline systems from shear caused by gradual soil subsidence or seismic events.
EX-TEND® Force Balanced Expansion and Contraction Joint
- Expansion and Contraction Joint
- Available is sizes 4" to 24"
The Force Balanced EX-TEND® Expansion/Contraction Joint is designed to provide expansive or contractive movement to water pipelines subjected to linear movement. Unlike normal expansion joints, the Force Balanced EX-TEND does not generate an imparting thrust.
EX-TEND® Expansion and Contraction Joint
- Expansion Contraction Joint
- Available is sizes 3" to 36"
The EX-TEND® 200 joint is designed for pipelines that are subjected to expansion and contraction forces and is self restrained at full expansion.
FLEX-900® Flexible Ball Joint
- Flexible Ball Joint
- Available is sizes 3" to 72"
The FLEX-900® is designed for deflection application. It is perfect for field fabricating "river crossing" pipe from standard mechanical joint or flanged pipe.
