Universal un-tied or unrestrained expansion joints are made up of two bellows joined together by a central pipe. Although they can be used to absorb any combination of the three basic movements they are mainly used to absorb large lateral movements.

The amount of lateral deflection that can be accepted is a function of the degree of angulation each bellows can absorb and the distance between the bellows or length of the central pipe.

They do not restrain pressure thrust so adequate anchors and guides must be provided and they can be used only in a piping systems that incorporate correctly designed anchors and pipe alignment guides.
