Expansion Joint Assembly Order
The expansion joint consists of nuts, sleeves, gaskets, and a main body.
Precautions on work
The role of the sleeve is to prevent kinking of the gasket. The reverse order of packing and
sleeve installation may cause gasket damage or water leakage.
Tighten the nuts of the expansion joint by hand. Tightening the nuts with a tool may force them
and deform the gasket, causing leakage.
Check for leak after tightening the nuts. If leak is observed, tighten the nuts further.
