The JRE - Series SL-53 Triple Arch Expansion Joint is designed to allow for greater contraction, expansion and lateral movement than the SL-50. The internal diameter of the SL-53 is equal to the outside diameter of replacement pipes. The SL-53 slips over the ends of an open pipe and is secured by clamps.
Construction consists of a tube made of natural or synthetic elastomer, a hand-fabricated body consisting of high-quality synthetic fabric for reinforcement, and a cover wrap used to protect the unit against occasional contact with oil, weathering, ozone and corrosive environment.
The SL-53 Expansion Joint is simple and economical to use. The SL-53 Expansion Joint will absorb movement from vibration, thermal expansion and contraction and allow for misalignment of piping.
