DX3S DanOne metal expansion joints

These untied expansion joints feature an external sealable shroud and are designed for large axial movements, making them useful for district heating applications. 

Product Description

Features:
  • Untied metal expansion joints mainly for district heating.
  • External sealable shroud.
  • Can be installed in series.
  • One cycle / startup type expansion joint, for ease of installation.
  • Designed for large axial movements.
Benefits:
  • No significant pressure drop - reduced need for pumps and general power consumption for moving media, compared to pipe loops.
  • Less supporting structure or excavation required – Compared to pipe loops.
  • Lower erosion rate (for abrasive media lines – compared to pipe loops with elbows).
  • Multiply bellows with low spring rate and high cycle life.
