Description (Features)

Small diameter piping system can present real problems when stress alleviation is required. Space is generally critical. Conventional flanged expansion joints cannot be used without relocating piping runs. QFTU type solves this problem because of their screw ends.

Typical Applications

  1. Building equipment, piping systems for industrial plans and piping systems for private residence.
  2. Prevention of disasters due to earthquakes and subsidence of ground.
  3. Waterworks, sewerage and sanitary lines (feed – water and drainage).
