Fabric Expansion Joints By Kanwal Industrial Corporation

Kanwal's Fabric Expansion Joints are used for absorbing movements between joining connections in gas conveying ducts and pipe-lines. The movements can be caused by thermal expansion of the ducting system, wind conditions or vibrations from other system components or machines. In addition, fabric expansion joints can also serve as seals and compensate for installation misalignments.

Kanwal's fabric expansion joints have distinct advantages as they can accommodate relatively large movements and even some misalignment of flanges. They are also lightweight, easy to install and with the addition of internal insulation bolsters have good acoustic properties. They can be supplied fully assembled and fitted to support steelwork ready for insertion into ductwork. For retrofit applications, we can supply as factory joined or open for on-site joining where access is limited.
