ALIGNMENT / EXPANSION FITTING WITH O-RING (ID) - BELOW GROUND
The Alignment/Expansion Fitting with O-Ring (ID) is a critical component for below-ground conduit installations, designed to provide both flexibility and adaptability in demanding environments. Commonly referred to as an Expansion/Deflection Joint, this fitting is expertly engineered to allow for slight movement and alignment adjustments within conduit systems. It effectively accommodates ground shifts and thermal expansion, helping to prevent damage and maintain the system’s structural integrity. The integrated O-ring ensures a reliable, leak-proof seal, protecting the conduit from moisture and contaminants while preserving the performance of the installation. Ideal for applications that require a balance of stability and flexibility, this fitting enhances the durability and resilience of below-ground conduit systems, ensuring long-term functionality even under variable conditions.
Key Features:
- Dual Functionality: Serves as both an alignment and expansion fitting, providing versatility and adaptability for complex below-ground conduit networks.
- Durable Construction: Equipped with a rubber sleeve that connects two nipples, secured by stainless steel clamps to ensure long-lasting corrosion protection.
- O-Ring Integration: Features an O-ring for enhanced sealing, maintaining optimal performance and preventing water or debris ingress.
- Corrosion-Resistant Clamps: Stainless steel clamps provide robust protection against rust and corrosion, ideal for harsh underground environments.
- Proper Installation Guidance: Includes a yellow line on the nipple end to assist in precise and correct installation.
Applications:
- Below-Ground Conduit Systems: Perfect for utility, telecommunications, and electrical conduits that need to adapt to environmental changes.
- Shifting Ground Conditions: Ideal for areas prone to ground movement or temperature variations that could impact conduit integrity.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Allows for minor adjustments and expansion within the conduit system, reducing the risk of stress or damage.
- Reliable Sealing: The integrated O-ring ensures a watertight seal, protecting cables and wiring from moisture and debris intrusion.
- Easy Identification and Installation: The yellow line on the nipple end provides visual guidance for correct placement during installation, promoting efficiency and accuracy.
