JP150 Expansion Joint Guides

Description

JP150 Expansion Joint Guides

Specification

Electro-galvanised carbon steel low friction expansion joint slide guide assembly. Connections – Multiple connection options from M10 to 1”.

Application

Stourflex Expansion Joint Guides are designed to accommodate movement in pipework and associated equipment the guide also prevents buckling or squirming due to the forces created when expansion joints are used.

Stourflex slide guides are designed for ceiling, wall or floor mounting and are fixed to the building structure with M10, M12 anchors.

Design

Primarily Stourflex JP150 Expansion Joint Guides are designed to be utilised in conjunction with Stourflex expansion joints, however they may also be used along the rest of the pipe run. This is because a pipeline suspended on hangers, drop rods or gripple is free to swing and cannot be considered guided.

A further benefit of utilising JP150 Expansion Joint Guides over the whole run is significantly reduced anchor forces (when compared to traditional supports) due to the low friction coefficient of the slide.
