AGS - Style W155 - Expansion Joint Brochure

Style W155 AGS Expansion Joints are a combination of couplings and short nipples, joined in tandem to provide increased expansion. The nipples are precisely grooved to provide full linear allowance at each joint.The standard units are prepared with Style W77 AGS couplings and are assembled with nipples in the full open position for full expansion. For contraction services, units are fully compressed. Where expansion and contraction allowances are needed, the spacing will be set proportionally to the installation temperature and the temperature extremes (according to customer specifica-tions). The ties holding the couplings in position must be removed after installation.Victaulic expansion joints may be used as flexible connectors; however, they will not simultane-ously provide full expansion and full deflection. Expansion joints installed horizontally require independent support to prevent deflection which will reduce the available expansion.Request the 09.06 for design installation information.material specifications Housing: Ductile iron conforming to ASTM A-536, grade 65-45-12.
