high deflection couplings

[PatRymer]

I have been asked to use "high deflection couplings" on a water line plan I'm working on but I can't find any design info or manufacturer data. Any suggestions?

Gibault type joints will typically give you 5-6 degrees. How much deflection do you need?

Is this for new or a modification to an existing line?

There are plenty of options. Joint deflection depends on the pipe size. See the attachment.

Use bends, you will sleep better.
