General Rubber

All piping systems require some degree of flexibility. General Rubber’s rubber expansion joints provide the ultimate in flexibility with their resilient construction and all directional movement capability. Rubber expansion joints, as manufactured by General Rubber Corp, can accommodate axial, lateral, angular and torsional movements, as well as absorbing vibration and accommodating for piping misalignment.

This level of performance cannot be achieved with alternatives such as, large pipe loops, metal expansion joints, or grooved couplings.
