These are standard spool-type rubber and fabric joints, Guardian® "200" FEPlined, rubber and fabric joints, Garflex® fully molded flowing arch joints, and Gylon® all-PTFE molded joints and flexible couplings. Design features, temperature and pressure ranges, media compatibility, movement capabilities, sizes, weights, and other pertinent data are given on standard styles. Special construction and material variations are mentioned and a number of specialty items shown.

Numerous other items of interest to architects, engineers, contractors, or end users are offered.
