Cylinder type! Absorbs vibration, noise, expansion, and displacement in piping systems! Active in air conditioning equipment, water supply and drainage sanitary equipment, and various plants! [Meets Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism specifications]
Expansion joints (flexible joints/rubber joints) are used to prevent vibrations and noise generated from piping systems, absorb expansion and displacement due to temperature and pressure changes, as well as to accommodate various dimensional fluctuations during construction and mitigate or prevent the effects of earthquakes and ground subsidence. They are considered essential components in piping installations. The E-P joint was launched in 1970 (Showa 45) as a low-pressure R type for elevated water tanks. Since then, we have added new products to meet customer needs, including the high-pressure P type integrated with PTFE, known as the F type. Today, our products are used across a wide range of fields and various industries, from household drinking water to chemical plant piping for liquids. 【Features】 1. Capable of accommodating large eccentricities 2. Excellent installation work due to the use of loose flanges For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.
