The Fiberglass XW Single Expansion Joint Socket x Spigot (No O-Ring) is designed to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of above-ground fiberglass conduit installations, ensuring system stability and longevity. This high-quality joint is essential for fiberglass conduit systems in environments that experience temperature fluctuations, protecting conduits from undue stress and damage.
Installation Guidelines:
- Ducts Shorter Than 50 ft: No expansion joint required.
- Ducts Between 50 ft to 200 ft: Install one expansion joint at the midpoint to allow for thermal movement.
- Ducts Longer Than 200 ft: Install one expansion joint every 200 ft to maintain system integrity.
- Optimal Placement: Position expansion joints as close as possible to the quarter point of the conduit span for best performance.
Key Features:
- Precision Fiberglass Design: Features a socket x spigot configuration for secure connections in above-ground fiberglass conduit applications.
- Installation Aid: Includes a yellow line on the nipple end to assist with proper alignment and installation.
- No O-Ring: Simple, efficient design specifically suited for above-ground fiberglass conduit setups.
Benefits:
- Thermal Expansion Management: Prevents stress and potential damage by accommodating temperature-induced changes in the fiberglass conduit.
- Long-Lasting Performance: Reduces maintenance needs by enhancing the durability of the fiberglass conduit system.
- Effortless Installation: The yellow guide line ensures correct placement and easy setup for fiberglass conduit systems.
