The Bow Plumbing 602185 (PUL166) is a high-performance 3-inch ABS expansion joint engineered to manage thermal movement in vertical plumbing systems. This critical component prevents stress and damage to piping by accommodating expansion and contraction, ensuring long-term system reliability.
Key Specifications and Features:
– Material Composition: Constructed from robust ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic, providing exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and structural integrity for demanding plumbing environments.
– Nominal Diameter: Designed for seamless integration with 3-inch nominal diameter piping, offering a precise fit and secure connection within standard vertical plumbing configurations.
– Connection Type: Features a Spigot x Hub connection, facilitating straightforward and efficient installation into existing ABS pipe networks without specialized adapters.
– Application Focus: Specifically engineered for vertical use, this expansion joint effectively absorbs linear thermal changes to protect pipe runs from bending, buckling, and joint separation in upward-oriented installations.
