Description
The Metraflex Style IV pipe guide provides lateral restraint of a piping system, allowing the piping designer to control pipe movement and prevent bowing or buckling of the piping system.? This style of pipe guide does not take the place of pipe supports, which are still required.
For applications using thrust-producing expansion joints, we recommend that EJMA (Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association) guidelines are followed for guide spacing.? Consult Metraflex for guidelines for curved pipe and riser design.
