Pipe expansion joints, an essential part of large pipe networks

Pipe Compensator is a fitting used mainly in the heating and plumbing industry. It is a device that reduces axial (sometimes radial) forces acting on pipes. It dampens undesirable influences such as thermal expansion, vibrations, pressure surges, shocks, etc. The compensator can be found in any well-developed pipeline network.

An example of an application could be the central heating pipes in an apartment building. Here, the pipework is long enough for thermal expansion to endanger the pipework.
