Trellex Gasket

The tapered Trellex Gasket is designed for use with Trellex Hoses and Bends. Together with the Trellex Coupling, this gasket will give leak-proof, full bore joints. The Trellex tapered gasket is reinforced with a steel insert, which makes it stiff and allows it to be pushed inside the hose, guided by the same inside bore that you want to match. To complete one full joint between two hoses, two couplings and two gaskets are required. When tightened against the connecting fl ange, the inside tube of the hose will be pressed up against the outside slope of the gasket. The slurry itself will quickly wear the inside of the gasket fl ush with the hose, leaving a full-bore transition, free of turbulence. It is the inner diameter of the hose that will correctly position the gasket in the centre of the bore. The taper of the gasket will further compensate for the unevenness in the end of a hose when it is cut to exact length onsite. The ends of the hose do not have to be ground fl at as when working with ordinary, fl at rubber gaskets. The fl uting of the front of the gasket will eliminate any leakage. Trellex Gasket – Steel reinforced, to be able to receive the same inside bore as the hose when pushed in to the hose. – Full-bore transition, free of turbulence. – Thick, smooth-walled wear tubes providing low resistance to fl ow and long service life. – The taper compensates for any unevenness at the hose ends. – Fluting pattern at the front eliminates leakage.
