Clamshell expansion joint

Clamshell expansion joint

Product Overview

Clamshell Expansion Joints are specially designed two-piece (split-type) metallic expansion joints, engineered for emergency replacement or field installation around existing piping systems without disturbing the pipeline. Named after their “clamshell” appearance, these joints are fabricated in halves, allowing on-site assembly via welding or bolting — making them the go-to solution for critical shutdowns, repairs, or retrofits.

They are ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature applications where operational downtime must be minimized.

Designed for rapid repair without cutting the pipeline
Handles axial, lateral, or angular movement (as per original joint design)
