How to Install the XJG-EMT Expansion Joint
This guide provides instructions for installing the XJG-EMT Expansion Joint, designed to couple two sections of Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) and accommodate longitudinal movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Pipe wrench
Supplies needed:
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
- Insert EMT Tubing
Insert one section of Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) into each end of the pre-assembled XJG-EMT Expansion Joint. The factory-partially tightened gland nut allows for easy insertion without prior disassembly of the unit.
- Tighten Gland Nuts
Using a pipe wrench, tighten the gland nut at each end of the EMT connector. Refer to the Torque Chart for the correct torque values: 90.4 N•m (800 lbl-in) for 3/4” & Smaller; 113 N•m (1000 lbl-in) for 1”, 1-1/4”, & 1-1/2”; 181 N•m (1600 lbl-in) for 2” & Larger. This action compresses the Teflon packing, providing a rain-tight seal.
- Position Internal Bushing
Position the internal bushing in the middle of the expansion joint fitting. This allows for equal movement in both directions (2 or 4 inches from the center in either direction, resulting in a total movement of 4 or 8 inches) to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
