🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of metal piping when steam temperature changes • Devices specifically designed to absorb or allow movement in long pipe runs • Difference between components that seal joints vs. components that support or restrain piping

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option is PURPOSE-BUILT to allow a pipe to grow longer or shorter as temperature changes without causing stress or damage? • Which of these choices would actually PREVENT movement and which would ACCOMMODATE movement? • Think about where you have seen each item used: sealing flanged joints, holding pipes in place, or taking up length changes in the line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is designed to handle axial movement in piping rather than just sealing a joint • Eliminate any hardware whose main function is to rigidly support or fix the pipe in place • Confirm which item is commonly installed in long, straight runs of steam piping to prevent stress, leaks, or broken supports due to temperature change
