The following steps should be followed when installing expansion joints:
1. Leave sufficient installation space at the location of the pipeline;
2. Inflate or fill the expansion joint with water before installation to ensure it has sufficient expansion and contraction capacity after installation;
3. Connect the expansion joint to the pipeline, ensuring the sealing and reliability of the connection;
4. Adjust the position of the expansion joint so that it can expand and contract when the pipeline expands and deforms;
5. Check the installation of the expansion joint and the pipeline to ensure the quality and reliability of the installation.
