Universal Expansion Joint

Universal expansion joints consist of two bellows with a central piece of pipe – this can be supplied with flanges or pipe ends.  These joints are designed to absorb a greater amount of axial and lateral movements compared to a single expansion joint.  The longer the central pipe length increases the greater the bellows can absorb lateral deflection.

Types of universal expansion joints:

  • Universal expansion joint with flanges

  • Universal expansion joint with pipe ends
