These joints consist of two bellows separated by a center spool, with fixed ANSI flanges on each end. Designed for systems experiencing axial, lateral, and angular movement, universal expansion joints offer superior flexibility and movement absorption. They’re commonly used in long pipe runs, mechanical rooms, or systems exposed to temperature swings and seismic forces. The universal design accommodates piping misalignment and helps reduce load on system anchors and guides, making them ideal for mission-critical exhaust and ventilation systems.
