"BADGER PACKLESS CORRUGATED EXPANSION JOINTS" To compensate for thermal expansion and contraction in pipe lines carrying hot gases dr fluids; also used to absorb vibrations. Hinged, Tandem, and Balanced Ex pansion Joints are available for complex piping problems where forces are critical.
Badger Non-Equalizing Expansion Joint, Multiple Corrugation. Single corrugation type available. Wide
range of sizes.
Badger Self-Equalizing Expansion Joint, Directed Flexing Type. Wide range of sizes and traverses avail
able.
INSTALLATION, OPERATING, MAINTENANCE FEATURES
Packless--Each Badger Packless Expan sion Joint is formed from a single tube hence, no packing is needed etc.
Engineered Relationship--Between di ameter of joint, depth of corrugation and allowable traverse.
crements up to 7% in. for single joints; up to 15% in. for double joints.
Connections--Flanged or welding ends available.
Materials--Standard joints fabricated from stainless steel or copper.
Heat Treatment--Successive heat treat ing operations during manufacture re moves forming stresses and increases life.
Wide Pressure Range--Standard joints for pressures up to 300 psig.
Wide Temperature Range--Standard joints for temperatures up to 900 F.
Wide Traverse Range--In standard in
Compact, Easy to Install--Outside diam eters of all Badger Expansion Joints are approximately the same as standard pipe flanges; joints are as easily installed in the line as any fitting.
Special Designs--Our Engineering De partment will be pleased to consult with you regarding applications involving large sizes, special alloys, or abnormal operating conditions.

FLEXON EXPANSION COMPENSATORS
FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
Model L for pressures to 40 pslg
The Flexon Model L Expansion Com pensator consists of a two ply phosphor bronze bellows with copper tube end connections enclosed in a floating pro tective shroud of brass. It is especially designed for control of expansion in finned type convectors, baseboard, radi ator or heating supply and return lines.
Sizes from % in. through 1% in. Suit able for temperatures from --60 F to 250 F and for pressures up to 40 psig. A single unit will handle motion up to % in. (% in. compression, % in. extension). Available with all commonly used fit tings.

The Flexon Model H Expansion Com pensator is used primarily on vertical risers for high pressure steam and hot water lines. However it may also be used on horizontal runs. The Model H con sists' of a corrosion resistant Flexon bellows enclosed in an all-welded steel housing. The unit is provided with a positive anti-torque device to prevent possible bellows damage during installa tion.
Sizes from % in. through 3 in. Suitable for temperatures from --60 F to 750 F. A single unit will handle motion up to 1% in. (1% in. compression, % in. exten sion). Mild steel male NPT pipe nipples on both ends are standard. Ground joint unions or weld ends are optional.
