The Most Tested Expansion Joints in the Industry
AEFCW

Product Description

The EMS rugged aluminum extruded retainers support the colorable Santoprene® elastomeric gland that snap fits into the aluminum retainer. The gland is available in several standard colors; beige, black, gray and off-white. We are able to color match on request if our standard colors do not fit your color scheme.

Our architectural systems bridge the joint gap with minimal preparation for maximum protection. This system is designed to cover the joint opening in vertical and overhead applications

The AEFCW series is made from 6061-T5 or 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions that are secured to the wall with counter sunk flat head screws. The tapered metal retainer wings are mated into the drywall and are covered with drywall compound to present a flush fitting surface.

Recommended areas for usage include; offices, retail spaces, hospitals, casinos, airports, and shopping malls.

Optional accents such as color anodize, EPDM-looped moisture barriers and fire barriers are available. Contact EMS for pricing

Features and Benefits

  • Ease of Installation – The layout of the anchor points along the edge of the extrusion is a simple process. String line a straight edge parallel to the joint opening. Align the extrusion along the string and drill into the supporting wall studs. Clean out all the dust and debris; align the center plate into position and snap in the colored seal.
  • Tested To ASTM D-1399 – The design was tested in compression, tension and deflection for 500 cycles. No loss of anchors was noted.
  • Flat Uniform Closure - This system remains flush during all phases of thermal movement.
