Split expansion joint
Style 8420 Split™ is typically used in applications where small piping limits the use of flanged connections. An example of this includes vacuum pump inlets and outlets in pulp and paper applications. It is also used as a temporary repair for piping that has cracked. It can be provided in the split design or as a sleeved product. Adhesives kits are also available for easy installation.
