Rubber Pipe Sleeves Cable Silicone Sleeve and Tubing

Rubber pipe sleeves can be developed as coverings around another component or as tubing within a separately assessed assembly. The intended role determines the important dimensions. A protective sleeve follows the outside of a pipe or cable, while a working tube also needs its internal passage and connection arrangement defined for the medium it carries.

Custom silicone and other rubber materials, dimensions, hardness and colors are available. Establish the bore, wall thickness and length using the actual installation. Include nearby bends and fittings so the sleeve does not end where a rigid edge or abrupt turn creates unwanted contact.

During fitting, support the rubber along its length instead of pulling only at one end. Check for a folded section or a passage distorted by the surrounding hardware. Select the compound for the temperature and exposure involved, and assess any fluid or pressure duty on the complete system. During maintenance, inspect the transition between covered and uncovered areas for wear that may indicate an unsuitable end position or routing support.

Material options

Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.

Hardness selection

Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Include nearby bends and fittings so the sleeve does not end where a rigid edge or abrupt turn creates unwanted contact.
