No im,e saying a slip joint does move..the name is a clue...And to your 2nd question, there is no other way to join Stainless pipe to alloy plate other than a springed slip joint. Anyway since when have i been the spokesperson for Carpenter zorsts

Except for a clamp, or bolt up flange.
But this is all minor stuff and not to detract from Bob's work at all.
My only point was that a slip joint is not a reliable long term solution.

All good
