The Style 204 family of spool-type expansion joints are manufactured with the industry standard narrow arch design. This style is intended to be used in dynamic conditions where both pressure and vacuum concerns are present.
Also available for high-pressure applications, Style 204 MAX has the highest pressure rating available inthe industry today.
Garlock style 204 MAX is the highest pressure rated rubber expansion joint available in the industry today. Manufactured in North America, the 204 MAX is not only a solution for applications with extreme pressure requirements, but it is also tailored for high pressure Marine and offshore applications. The design of 204 MAX has earned the ABS type approval, making it the ideal solution for single point mooring stations requiring a 4:1 safety factor. The 204 MAX has also been extremely successful in many other applications, and has been specified in high pressure applications that pump water to copper mines.
The 204 MAX can be configured to meet specific customer needs and is compatible with virtually any media. The ABS type approval provides cost savings to end users by eliminating destructive testing during the requisition process.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Standard Design
Tube
- Chlorobutyl resists cracking due to high temperatures, weathering, oxidation, and chemicals
- Abrupt arch configuration provides maximum movement and maximum pressure and vacuum resistance
- Seamless tube creates a positive flange seal without gaskets
Body
- Chlorobutyl/polyester construction with welded, treated metal body rings for dimensional stability
Cover
- A homogeneous layer of chlorobutyl fully extends to the outside edge of the flange
- A durable exterior coating futher protects the expansion joint from the effects of weathering and oxidation
Optional Configurations
- Multiple arch for higher movements
- Filled arch to eliminate media buildup
