Description
Seismic "V" Loops - Beveled Weld End Loops
Seismic “V” Loops are engineered to allow pipe movement in the ±X, ±Y, and ±Z planes. These compact loop assemblies are typically installed across building seismic joints or at equipment connections where movement and flexibility are required.
Designed for versatility, loops can be installed vertically, horizontally, or at any angle. The only critical requirement is that the return bend remains free to move during operation.
Key Features
- Accommodates movement in multiple directions (±X, ±Y, ±Z)
- Compact “V” configuration minimizes required installation space
- Ideal for seismic joints and equipment connections
- Reduces heat loss compared to traditional large pipe loops
- Includes drain port, drain plug, and support bracket (2" and larger)
- Beveled weld ends for secure installation
Typical Applications
Used in piping systems requiring movement accommodation across seismic joints or near equipment connections. Ideal for indoor piping systems where space is limited.
Installation Notes
For steam applications, loops should be installed horizontally whenever possible to minimize condensate entrapment.
Ensure the return bend is free to move during operation to allow proper system performance and movement accommodation.
