Connector Sizes

BFM^® spigots and connectors are available in a variety of set diameters in 50mm (2") increments, from 100mm (4") up to 1,650mm (65").

Most of our connectors are available in standard lengths starting at 80mm (3"), then in 50mm (2") increments from 100m (4") up to 6 metres (19ft 8").

(Note: for larger diameters from 700mm (27.5") upwards, certain length restrictions apply).

Please refer to the table below for a general guide to the available diameters and lengths relevant to each type of BFM^® connector - contact your local Distributor if you have any further questions, or try our FAQ's:

Other	The smallest installation gap a connector can be fitted into is 65mm (2^1/2”) (for an 80mm (3”) long connector). Note: This may not be suitable for frequently changed connectors or those with more than a small amount of vibratory movement.	Distance between spigot & rings: 150mm (6”) long = 75mm (3“) All other lengths = 100mm (4”) Multiple rings = evenly spaced at min. 100mm (4”) apart (10 rings max).	Diameter (Ø) Measurements: 100mm (4”) Ø is measured to outside edge (OD) (to fit standard tube) 125mm (5”) Ø & over measured to inside edge (ID) (to fit standard pipe)
	All Ø 800mm (31^1/2”) & over have finger-loops as standard to aid installation from one side	Only Seeflex 040E, Seeflex 040AS, LM3, LM4 and Teflex are supplied with rings (Seeflex 020E on request only).	Wall Thickness: 100mm (4”) Ø are 1.5mm (^1/64”) thick 150mm (6”) Ø & up are 2mm (^5/64”) thick
