R6904 2-Convolute PTFE Expansion Joint

Resistoflex 2-convolute expansion joints are contour molded of Teflon® PTFE by a patented process. They are corrosion resistant, non-aging, with extraordinary flex life and reliability. The flexible element is formed over the full sealing face of the end flanges eliminating troublesome separate gaskets.

All Dimensions in inches.
*At neutral length with limit bolts in place.
Maximum (axial) travel is based on installation with no misalignment or angular defection.
12" size supplied only with crest rings in stainless steel.
† This is an installation dimension not a limit bolt setting.
NOTE: Angular Deflection approx. 7°.
Consult Factory for spring rates for angular deflection.

Pipe Motion may be absorbed by an expansion joint

"Maximum Travel" (±) may be called longitudinal movement or axial compression and extension. It is based on installation with no misalignment or angular deflection.

"Maximum Misalignment" may also be referred to as lateral offset or deflection. It is based on installation with no axial travel or angular deflection. "Maximum Angular Deflection" may be called angular rotation. It is based on installation with no axial travel or lateral offset.
