An expansion loop accommodates thermal expansion and contraction in piping systems using a U-shaped loop configured with specific height and width dimensions. The straight run of pipe is secured by anchors at designated intervals and controlled by alignment guides placed symmetrically around the loop. A schedule table provides sizing parameters including mark, height in feet, width in feet, and anchor force in pounds.
