J1-Wide Arch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The J-1W Wide Arch Expansion Joint is designed to offer enhanced movement capabilities compared to the standard J-1 Expansion Joint. It allows for up to three times more movement with less force required, while maintaining the same face-to-face dimensions as the J-1. This design saves space and cost by eliminating the need for multiple arches.
Materials of Construction: The expansion joints are constructed from various elastomers including Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton®. They are rated for a vacuum of 15 in. Hg, with full vacuum capabilities available.
Specifications: The J-1W is engineered to handle greater expansion and compression stresses without additional arches. It operates under the same working pressures as the standard J-1, providing cost savings for both new installations and replacements.
Dimensions and Movement: The document provides detailed specifications for various sizes of the J-1W, including axial compression, elongation, lateral deflection, and the force required for each movement. Working pressures range from 55 psi to 165 psi depending on the size.
Key Benefits: The wide arch design reduces the force needed for movement, allowing for efficient operation under standard pressures. This results in cost savings and space efficiency, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

J1-Wide Arch-1

Same face-to-face as J-1 Up to 3x more movement Less force required to move Saves space over multiple arch J-1 Multiple wide arch available Made in U.S.A. Redflex® J-1W Wide Arch Expansion Joints are engineered to permit greater movement capabilities than standard J-1 Expansion Joints. J-1W Expansion Joints can be used to alleviate more extreme expansion and compression stresses, without the need for double or triple arches, since the J-1W has the same face-to-face dimensions as the standard J-1 Single Arch Expansion Joint. The wide arch design also reduces the amount of force required to cause movement in the expansion joint while allowing the J-1W to be used under the same working pressures as the standard J-1. These features and benefits of the J-1W Wide Arch Expansion Joint result in a cost savings for both new installations and for replacement operations. Materials of Construction Ǡ ELASTOMERS Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene, Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM, and Viton® Section Through Expansion Joint Showing Arch Detail 15 in.
