Style 5100E - Elbow

Style 5100E elbow pressure balanced rubber expansion joint is designed to absorb all-directional movement while simultaneously self-restraining the pressure thrust forces. This configuration utilizes tie devices to inter-connect its main joint sections with the opposing balancing joint section, making it ideal for situations where the support structure or adjacent equipment have load limitations. 

The pair of spool-type bodies feature full rubber flanges, a high-grade leak-proof tube, multiple layers of high-strength tire cord, high tensile steel reinforcement, a seamless cover, and hot dip galvanized steel retaining rings. These joints are engineered to reduce noise and vibration, offer a cycle life in the tens of millions, compensate for misalignments, provide access to piping and equipment, and relieve pipe and anchor stresses. The economic advantages of utilizing pressure balanced designs include a smaller system footprint and a reduced need for guides, anchors, and supports.
