Pipe Slides DME Incorporated slides are designed to ensure positive pipe alignment. This is accomplished by restricting lateral pipe movement while allowing for movement along the axis of the pipe. When expansion devices such as pipe loops, bellows joints and slip joints are used, pipe slides ensure proper operation of the expansion device and protect the integrity of the pipe.

A pipe slide assembly consists of an anchored base and a sliding section that is attached to the pipe. The slide moves over the base as the pipe expands and contracts.

• Pipe slide assemblies are designed for pipe support as well as lateral and axial movement.
• Assemblies are fabricated using low-friction bearing surfaces to minimize stress on pipe and support structures.
• Self-lubricating, chemically-inert and maintenance-free.

Technical Specifications

DME Incorporated PTFE pipe slide assemblies are designed to support the pipe and provide for lateral and axial movement due to thermal expansion and contraction of the piping system.

Slide bases are fabricated using the PTFE slide bearings to provide a low coefficient of friction, minimizing frictional stress on the pipe and support structure.

The maximum load on the pipe slides is based on using a PTFE width of 2" for the slide plate and a 70¼F temperature. For a different temperature at the bearing surface, multiply the maximum load rating by the following factor:

Slides are fabricated carbon steel supports with Heat Cured PTFE Modified Coating.

Dry Film Lubricant formulated with PTFE to provide excellent lubrication, fluid resistance, and corrosion protection. This Heat Cured material prevents corrosion, galling, seizing, and fretting.

Features / Benefits

• Provides excellent lubrication.
• Provides heavy duty service as an exterior protective coating for all metals including magnesium.
• Offers resistance to chemical corrosion, solvents, abrasion and impact.
• Exhibits good thermal stability.

Pipe slides manufactured by DME Incorporated are designed to fit all popular sizes of piping. Click on the pipe size you will be working with for complete details and drawings.

Available with or without end plates.

For bolted applications use above Part No. when ordering.
