Pipe expansion joints are important components in piping systems and allow for movement and thermal expansion. However, they can wear out over time and become less effective. Before you make the move to purchase a new one, review why you should refurbish your pipe expansion joint rather than replace it.
Cost Savings
Refurbishing a pipe expansion joint is more cost-effective than replacing it. The cost of materials and labor for refurbishing is lower than that of buying a new expansion joint. By going with this option, your business will enjoy significant savings you can apply to other areas.
Waste Reduction
Another reason to refurbish your pipe expansion joint is that it reduces waste. When you refurbish, you won’t be scrapping the parts of the joint that still have value. Instead, the manufacturer will likely replace the bellows and machine the rest.
By opting for refurbishment, you indirectly contribute to environmental preservation. You are making a decision that is both cost-effective and sustainable. It’s a win-win situation for your facility and the environment!
A Product Guarantee
Although you may assume a refurbished product is low quality because it isn’t new, that is incorrect. When your joint undergoes refurbishment, the provider will confirm it can function as well as it did before.
The joint will undergo tests to ensure its reliability and durability. It’s not just an old part that your provider patched up; it’s a meticulously restored and validated component that guarantees optimal performance. This process will eliminate your uncertainties and provide you with greater peace of mind knowing that your operations can continue.
