ABSTRACT:
A pipe guide is described for providing axial alignment to two pipes connected by an expansion joint. The pipe guide comprises a pipe guide sleeve that covers the expansion joint and is connected at its first end to the first pipe. It also comprises a guide ring that is connected to the second pipe and slidably engages the interior of the pipe guide sleeve. In one embodiment, the pipe guide also comprises restraint rods to limit the axial extension and compression of the pipe guide.
