Dual-Flex "DFP"
In-Line Double restrained Expansion Joint with Intermediate Anchors

Thorburn's in-line double expansion joint system is specified when the axial movement of the piping run exceeds the capability of Thorburn's Sing-Flex (single Bellows) expansion joint. Model "DFP" consists of two single joints joined by a common spool which is anchored to a support base (intermediate anchor) directly to the structure.
