Duct Fabric Expansion Joint

Overview

Fabric expansion joints offer more movement capability than metal expansion joints. They install and replace easier than metal and are cost less.

Vibrant fabric expansion joints offer superior flexibility and will handle large thermal movements, in a relatively short space. They are excellent for vibration isolation and reduction of mechanical noise transmission. Fabric expansion joints are available in various materials and designs with no size restrictions. Expansion joints can be supplied with appropriate metal work (such as angles, baffles, and retaining bars) for ease of installation at site.

Elastomeric (Lower Temperature)
Composite (Higher Temperature)
Fluoropolymer (Additional Chemical Resistance)

Features

Design Integration Advantages:
1.Elimination of flanged connection gasketing and potential leaks.
2.Elimination of the risk of installing sensitive assemblies at the job site.
3.Significant costs savings of both manufacturing and installation labor.
4.Delivery of the largest “shippable” duct and piping sections to the job site to eliminate as many filed connections as possible, further reducing installation labor.
5.Minimize the number of flanged expansion joint connections.
6.Allows integration of ducting to serve as expansion joint flow liner.
7.Allows expansion joint frames to take the place of duct stiffeners.
8.Elimination of labor to install flanged expansion joint assemblies at the job site.
