Chemically-Resistant FEP Expansion Joint
Garlock® GUARDIAN® 200 expansion joints consist of a chemically-resistant Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) liner mechanically bonded to an abrupt arch. A chlorobutyl cover and blue protectant coating add resistance to environmental effects. Alternate cover materials are available.
Regional Availability Restrictions:
Not available in Europe
- High-density FEP liner reduces permeation and offers optimal chemical resistance
- Mechanically bound liner reduces delamination; no glue to be vulnerable to chemical attack
- High pressure and vacuum resistance ensures suitability for broad range of applications
- Available with GYLON® 3545 gasket face for raised face flange connections. A gasket is not required on full face flange. FEP is compressible to achieve seal.
- Size:
- Min. Inner Diameter: 2 in / 50 mm
- Max. Inner Diameter: 30 in / 750 mm
- Temperature:
- Max temperature rating is based on body and cover materials.
To determine, find the minimum temperature based on materials selected.

Standard Design
- Tube – Seamless FEP lining extends to the outer edge of the flange; completely fused to the joint body. Abrupt arch design used for maximum movement capabilities. A gasket is not required on full face flange. FEP is compressible to achieve seal.
- Body – Chlorobutyl/polyester construction with welded, treated metal body rings for dimensional stability
- Cover – Homogeneous layer of chlorobutyl elastomer is standard. Elastomer extends to the outside diameter of the flange
Optional Configurations
- Special Designs- Non-standard face-to-face dimensions
- Non-standard drill patterns- Blind flanges (no drilling)
- Available with GYLON® 3545 gasket face for raised face flange connections
