FS products manufactures backing bars in a variety of materials and thickness as required based on the specific application. The backing bars are shipped as full rings or picture frames when practical. Holes are pre-punched to match the adjoining ductwork to allow quick and easy installation of our U-Joint Formed Flange expansion joints. Backing bars are typically shipped painted with our standard high-temperature silver primer, but custom coatings and galvanizing can also be applied.

All expansion joints can be supplied with various configurations of flow liners. Flow Liners can be supplied as bolt-in unit design, single, tapered, overlapping, and floating. The primary purpose of flow liners is protection of the internal insulating materials from abrasives in the gas flow. They are also used to secure the internal accumulation pillow in place as well as to provide a laminar flow in the area of the expansion joint. Flow liners need to be designed to allow full system design movements while providing the necessary protection and support.
