Expansion Joints, also known as flexible connectors, allow for a resilient connection to be made between pipes and equipment, as well as between piping sections and ductwork. Expansion Joints are
available in a range of sizes and materials to allow for maximum flexibility of application design.

By providing a flexible connection between sections of piping
or equipment, expansion joints offer a method of reducing wear
and failure risk by absorbing vibrations and other potential
disturbances.
Expansion joints make it possible to fit piping through walls
and other locations where settling may be a hazard. Since
the rubberized material of the expansion joint is capable
of withstanding various types of force (torsional force, lateral
stress, expansion and compression), it provides a more reliable
connection between sections of pipe and between pipes and
equipment than straight metal-to-metal contact.
