If you look closely at the restraining hardware (tie-rods) on these expansion joints, you’ll see there are no outboard nuts. That means these EJs are exerting their full pressure thrust upon the adjacent piping. Apparently the elbows below them are handling it well, as they’ve been installed for 15 years.

This universal expansion joint got put on the high pressure bleed air line of a gas turbine, deforming the metal bellows. It was made for the low pressure bleed air. Check with us first and we’ll help you avoid rush orders and emergency repairs.
