Featured product: Expansion joints
------------------------------------------------------

Expansion joints, also known as flexible connectors, allow for a 
resilient connection to be made between pipes and equipment, as well as 
between sections of piping and ductwork. They are available in a range 
of sizes and materials to allow for maximum flexibility of application 
design. By providing a flexible connection between sections of piping or 
equipment, expansion joints offer a method of reducing wear and failure 
risk by absorbing vibrations and other potential disturbances.
