Universal Expansion Joints

Universal Metal Bellows Expansion Joints are constructed with two metal bellows of equal length separated by a center pipe. This expansion joint design will accept large amounts of lateral offset in multiple planes. The amount of deflection is based on the amount of angulation each bellows can take and the length of the center spool. The designers at Triad Bellows can increase or decrease the lateral deflection capability and cycle life by changing the center pipe length. As with all designs at Triad our universal metal bellows expansion joints are engineered and manufactured in strict accordance with EJMA 10th Edition. Standard universal metal expansion joints do not use tie rods and require the system piping to be properly anchored.
