ENGINEERED PRODUCTS for Plant Maintenance & Typicol instollotions show Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints on o 26" vacuum condenser inlet (left) and 2W suction and discharge pipes. Goriock furnishes standard joints from %" to 72" in pipe diameter, and in all shapes. Install Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints. It's good piping practice; here is why: 1. Prevent stresses. Piping systems ex pand and contract with temperature changes. Garlock Expansion Joints act as a "breather" . . . compensate for expansion and contraction. 2. Eliminate vibration and noise. Pumps, compressors, engines, and pressure surges in pipe lines create vibration and objectionable noises. Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints act as an absorbent cushion .. . reduce vibration and insulate against transfer of noise to other parts of the building. 3. Compensate for misalignment. Piping and mechanical equipment often move out of normal alignment during opera tion due to wear, load stresses, or settling of buildings. Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints compensate for this and prevent possible breakdowns of equipment. They also make installa tion easier since alignment of piping and equipment need not be as accurate when expansion joints are used. 4. Reduce flange breakage. Undue stress caused by misalignment, vibra tion, expansion or contraction of pip ing or equipment, will break the metal connecting flanges. Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints relieve such stresses. Offer many application advantages. Gar lock Rubber Expansion Joints outlive metal ones; do not crack, corrode, lose shape, or require gaskets. The sturdy construction of Garlock Rubber Expansion Joints results in. satisfactory service where pres sures are as high as 150 p.s.i., tem peratures to 180F. Expansion joints are also available for service up to 450F. In the photo of the joint cut in half, the arrow points to a steel reinforcing ring which, when varied in number with the joint size, provides the extra strength needed for the most severe applications.
