Sliding Pipe Connections

ACS Industries, Inc.’s patentented sliding-pipe connection offers new perspective and many advantages over traditional static and flex-joint connections.  By surrounding a gas-tight, pattented V-Seal with two compressed knitted wire mesh air gap spacers, the connection is made by simply sliding one section of pipe over another.  Fixing the sections at opposite ends - as in a motorcycle exhaust system - thermal expansion and other operational stresses are absorbed by connection’s integrated construction.  Because v-seals were originally designed to keep gas from bypassing catalytic converter substrates, installing one between the spacers keeps the connection from leaking.
