Question...
"Could you direct me to a simple piping expansion joint for a vent pipe?
The vent pipe I am referring crosses a building seismic expansion joint
that will move horizontally. For water and gas pipes, I am using
"Mextraflex" expansion joints. For storm and waste, I am using
"Flextend" double and single ball expansion joints. However, the
"Flextend" expansion joint seems excessive for a vent pipe application.
The vent will not convey any liquid. It seems that some sort of gas
tight piping sleeve would do the job. I contacted Zurn rep and inquired
about installing their Z-190 vertical expansion joint horizontally. The
rep stated that he didn't see any reason why that would not work.
Can you point me in the
right direction
?
