Product Description
Hyspan Barco Ball Joints are available in standard and custom configurations 1/2″ through 30″ nominal pipe size. The following unpacked and packed configurations are available that will meet most requirements.

Technology & Advantages
The unique design of Hyspan Barco Ball Joints allows disassembly for inspection, seal replacement or other maintenance resulting in a product that lasts a lifetime.
The Hyspan Barco Off-Set® Method utilizes two or three ball joints installed in a leg of the piping or a loop with the motion perpendicular to two ball joints installed in tandem. Two ball joints are satisfactory for most applications – a third joint may required for large movements.

Common Applications
Ball joints can be installed to absorb pipe movement in many applications ranging from thermal expansion or contraction of pipe, tank or building settlement, movement resulting from a seismic event, equipment movement such as solar panels and platens, and repetitive motion on bridges, oil platforms and ships. Regardless of the source of the motion, the ability of ball joints to absorb the motion relies on the Off-Set® Method.
The following illustrations are typical installations of ball joints. They are primarily illustrated in one plane; however, ball joints are completely universal allowing motion in all planes including rotation around the centerline. No other method of absorbing pipe motion has this capability.

Hyspan was founded in 1968 with comprehensive engineering, quality, and production capability. We design, develop, and fabricate metal bellows and hoses along with assemblies and products that incorporate these components. These technical strengths have been combined with sound management skills to develop reliable and long-lasting products, and we have continued to grow by acquiring related products and companies forming an organization of seven subsidiaries and divisions.  

As a result, Hyspan is the only designer and manufacturer of all four types of metal expansion joint technologies: bellows joints, ball joints, slip joints, and braided hoses. This provides best-fit solutions not usually limited to only one or two technologies. Often, more than one option is available as a reliable solution.
