The VIP expansion joint guide consists of an electrogalvanised carbon steel guide assembly with one or two multi-threaded fixings. Connections External M16 – Internal M10, M12. The low friction slide rails manufactured in glass fibre reinforced (silicon free) Polyphenylene Sulphide.
Application
VIP slide guides are designed for wall, ceiling or floor mounting. They are designed to accommodate axial movement in pipework and provide a solution that prevents squirming or buckling of pipe due to the forces created when using expansion joints.
They are fixed to the building structure using M10 or M12 anchors. VIP slide guides are suitable for all pipework systems up to a maximum permanent external temperature of 130°C (unlined clamps) – 110°C (rubber lined clamps).
