The full face flanges of this type rubber expansion joints are integral with the body of the joint and drilled to conform the bolt pattern of the companion flanges of the pipe line. Flanges are shot-blasted and painted carbon steel as standard.

The full face lined rubber expansion joints are recommended on most applications to prevent damage due to excessive pipe movements, each rod incorporates double nuts on each end to keep the expansion joint from over elongating and spherical washers to allow lateral, angular and some angular movements.
