Flexible sleeves couplings are available in four materials (EPDM, Neoprene, Hytrel and Urethane) and in three basic constructions. Characteristics of the materials are given below.
J sleeves are molded EPDM rubber (E) or Neoprene (N). They are available in one-piece solid construction (JE, JN) or one-piece split construction (JES, JNS). These sleeves may be used in any Sure-Flex Plus flange within a given size.
These Sleeves are of two-piece design with a retaining ring. They are available in either EPDM (E) or Neoprene (N).They may be used with any flange within a given size.Sleeves are shown here assembled and disassenbled.
H (Hytrel) and U (Urethane) sleeves, designed for high-torque applications, transmit four times as much power as an equivalent EPDM or Neoprene sleeve. Available in one-piece solid construction (H or U) or two-piece split construction (HS), these can be used only with S, C and SC flanges. They cannot be used with J or B flanges or as direct replacements for EPDM or Neoprene sleeves.
