3.2.2 Restrained joint The temperature of the pipe wall during operation
(including filling of the pipe) is determined by the
temperature of the water. Where the pipe is free to
move, any change in temperature in the pipe wall
would lead to contraction or expansion along the pipe
length. Where fixed in place (restrained), any change
in temperature would induce a force FT between the
fitting and the pipe.
