Flexible Connectors

Seeflex 060ES
Connector

Pressure-resistant connector made from a clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with polyester scrim.

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.

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.
