For applications where Seeflex 040E is not flexible enough.
Pressure-resistant connector made from a clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with polyester scrim.
Product Options
- Tapered
- Tool Release
- Quick Access Port
Product Description
Pressure-resistant Seeflex 060ES is a clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with an internal polyester scrim.
The internally bonded scrim restricts the Seeflex sleeve from stretching and provides superior pressure resistance.
Application
Overpressure situations for continuous pressure up to 1.7 bar
IMPORTANT: Seeflex 060ES is designed to resist extremely high pressure and therefore it should not be used where the connector is intended to act as a pressure-release point.
* Engineering adjustments should be made for changes in diameter. For length adjustments or non-static applications, contact BFM®.
The Seeflex 060ES Connector replaced the Camlon Connector.
Key Features

Hear from a BFM® fitting expert
Listen to our Technical Lead, Matthew Bailey, speak in-depth about the features and benefits of our Seeflex 060ES.
Getting Started with BFM® fittings
We have Authorized Distributors who will help work through what you want to achieve and how BFM® fitting can improve your plant.
Tapered
Seeflex 040E and Seeflex 060ES are available as a tapered version where different entry and exit diameters are required.
Also often used as a simple hopper solution.
Tool Release
For added security, this option has a significantly firmer snap-band that makes it virtually impossible to remove by hand and requires a specially shaped tool.
Quick Access Port
A 56mm polyurethane thread 'port hole' with a stainless steel screw-in plug that is added to the wall of the connector.
Allows fast, easy access to product flow for testing, sampling or adding small-volume ingredients.
The Quick Access Port is not currently 3A approved so the connector will no longer have 3A approval.
