The Maxi-Joint Company.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINES
“FROM THE SIMPLE... TO THE SIMPLY AMAZING”

Features and Benefits:

ABSORBS ALL DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT
General Rubber’s Maxi-Joint® wide arch expansion joints provide
superior movement capability in axial compression, axial extension,
and lateral deflection, as well as in the angular and torsional direction.
This performance cannot be obtained with metallic joints, grooved Axial Compression Axial Extension
couplings, or large pipe loops. The low stiffness and deflection forces A
make designing with General Rubber expansion joints a breeze.
REDUCES NOISE AND VIBRATION
General Rubber’s expansion joints and flexible connectors effectively
dampen and insulate against the transmission of noise and vibration
generated by mechanical equipment. This is particularly important
in HVAC applications where the disturbing frequency of pipe and
fluid-conducting noise can resonate and amplify throughout the
building. Metallic joints and grooved couplings do little to reduce Lateral Deflection Angular Movement
noise and vibration.
HIGH RESISTANCE TO SHOCK
A
The highly compliant and resilient characteristics of General Rubber
expansion joints make them ideally suited for earthquake and bomb
blast isolation, as well as pressure-surge and water hammer
T
dampening.
RELIEVES PIPE AND ANCHOR STRESS
V
Thermal movements along with other external forces and displace-
ments, including ground settlement can quickly exceed allowable Torsional Movement Vibration
pipe and anchor stresses. General Rubber expansion joints absorb
these stresses and replace them with their own low stiffness
(spring rate).
COMPENSATES FOR MISALIGNMENT
It is common in both new construction and replacement applications
to encounter pipe misalignment. Minor misalignment can be taken
up with standard General Rubber expansion joints, and custom
units can be quickly fabricated with large permanent offsets.
PROVIDES ACCESS TO PIPING AND EQUIPMENT
Access to piping and equipment can be easily achieved by
treating the expansion joint as a removable spool piece. If a
self retracting design is needed, General Rubber’s Style 1101DJ
dismantling joint can be utilized.

 Materials of Construction:
EPDM—Outstanding water, vapor, and weather resistance. Good
resistance to heat, ozone, alkalis, sunlight, and oxygenated solvents.
Ideal for outdoor service. Do not use with petroleum oil service. Good
general purpose elastomer with an effective operating range from
-30ºF to 350ºF.
NEOPRENE—Resists alkalis, inorganic acids, and salt solutions.
Flame-retardant, as well as abrasion and weather resistant. Good
resistance to animal and vegetable oils; moderate resistance to
petroleum oils. Effective operating range from -20ºF to 225ºF
CHLOROBUTYL—Lowest permeability, very good resistance to water,
heat, fats, ozone, alkalis, sunlight, abrasion, and oxygenated solvents.
Effective operating range from -30ºF to 300ºF with brief allowable
excursions to 350ºF.
HYPALON®—Offers superior weather resistance, flame retardant,
good abrasion resistance, and excellent resistance to acids, alkalis,
and oxidation. Effective operating range from -10ºF to 250ºF.
BUNA-N (NITRILE)—Good resistance to mineral and vegetable oils,
greases, hydrocarbon solvents, dilute acids, and alkalis. Effective
operating range from -10ºF to 210ºF.
HNBR (HYDROGENATED NITRILE)—Has a wide service temperature
range from -40°F to 302°F and resistance to fluids of various chemical
compositions, as well as excellent resistance to alkaline and aggressive
fluids. HNBR also has improved wear and abrasion resistance and
improved ozone resistance of up to 5 times that of standard NBR/
Buna-N. It uniquely bridges the gap in oil applications where the
temperature was too high for NBR/Buna-N and otherwise forced the
use of the much more expensive FKM compound.

Industry-Leading State-of-the-Art Construction Materials.

PURE GUM RUBBER—Excellent resilience and rebound elasticity
with high tensile strength. Excellent resistance to tear and abrasion.
Effective operating range from -40ºF to 180ºF.
PTFE FLUOROPLASTIC:—Superior chemical resistance, completely
inert to nearly all industrial chemicals and solvents. Effective operating
range from -60ºF to 450ºF. Teflon® is used when indicated or specified.
FDA Food-Grade Service:Several white and black elastomers meet
FDA requirements and can be used in direct contact with food,
beverage, and pharmaceutical products.
VITON®—Excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, solvents,
and halogenated hydrocarbons. Viton® TBR-S provides excellent
resistance to steam, aqueous acids, amines and concentrated
®

caustics/bases/alkalies. Viton® ETP-S offers the most universal

chemical resistance and has excellent flexibility at low temperatures.
Effective operating range from -10ºF to 400ºF.
REINFORCEMENTS—Polyester, Nylon, Kevlar®, fiberglass, and
steel. Temperature rating is dependent on both elastomer
and reinforcements.

The Maxi-Joint Company.

Maxi-Joint is a brand under General Rubber Corp. representing

our comprehensive line of expansion joints, flexible connectors,
rubber flanged hoses and related accessories, as well as spray
shields and penetration seals. These products provide critical
functions in piping and ducting systems.
Since our inception in 1950, General Rubber Corp. has designed
and developed a wide range of mechanical rubber products
used in the most demanding applications. Rubber is one of the
most compliant and resilient materials available. This not only
makes it an ideal material for car tires, but also for expansion
joints and flexible connectors. With a flexing cycle life in the
tens of millions, fatigue is simply not a design concern.
Improved performance and engineered solutions are often
accomplished by incorporating advanced materials and tech-
nologies to what otherwise would be considered a conventional
product line. This benefits both the specifying engineer design-
ing an optimal system, as well as the customer performing
maintenance on, or upgrading an aging system.
Piping and ducting systems require support and flexibility as
critical design elements. The obvious consequence of inade-
quate support is catastrophic system failure that can also be life
threatening. It is less obvious however, that inadequate flexibility
can produce the same devastating consequences. System flexi-
bility is required to absorb thermal movements, ground settle-
ment, misalignment, vibration and shock. The features and ben-
efits of our expansion joints include absorbing these forces and
displacements, and replacing them with the expansion joint’s
low stiffness (spring rate). In addition, our products absorb noise
and vibration, as well as provide easy access to piping and
equipment. Applying expansion joints to your system is the sub-
ject and title of the linked article published in Pumps and
Systems magazine. It remains a good reference for understand-
ing piping system requirements and basic expansion joint func-
tions, including the role of control units in anchored and un-
anchored systems.
Improved performance is directly related to our materials of
construction and design. We utilize industry leading construction
materials including premium elastomeric compounds, tire cord
and high tensile steel reinforcement. Utilizing tire cord is a good

New design features in piping expansion joints is the subject and title
of the linked paper presented at The American Power Conference. It
also remains a good reference for understanding the incredible per-
formance improvements that can be achieved when advanced mate-
rials and technologies are utilized.

Engineered solutions are also directly related to our many years of

experience and understanding of demanding applications. For exam-
ple, supplying high pressure and self retracting expansion joints on
offshore mooring platforms provided us with the understanding to do
the same on a massive scale for the CCWP project in Qatar. This proj-
ect required hundreds of much larger diameter high pressure dis-
mantling expansion joints. We are proud of an environmental award
we earned from the Fluid Sealing Association and Chemical
Engineering magazine for submitting the linked case study on this
project. Similarly, supplying original equipment into many nuclear
power plants has also provided us with the opportunity and ability to
upgrade both metal and rubber expansion joints for higher perform-
ance and greater reliability. In general, replacement and retrofit work
often requires building the product to existing field dimensions,
including permanent offsets caused by ground settlement, unre-
strained thrust forces or equipment substitution. The custom fit unit
is easier to install and will have a longer maintenance free life.
Utilizing improved materials and designs will also improve the prod-
uct's service life and reliability as well. We are experienced at obtain-
ing the relevant field information and producing an optimal product
for that application.

Over Fifty Years of Expansion Joint Solutions.

Maxi-Joint expansion joints and flexible connectors provide critical
design elements in piping and ducting systems. The experience and
capability of General Rubber can effectively utilize these products in
even the most demanding applications. In consideration of our prod-
ucts, you are assured that every aspect of your project will be our
priority.
