Construction
TEII Flex Connectors are constructed of heavy-duty rubber hose designed for 80 psi
internal pressure at 260°F temperature (Contact us for other specific temperature and
pressure ratings). Hose Clamps are included to attach the flex connectors to the inlet
of TEII-PD13 and TEII-PD33 Series Discharge Silencers and the outlet of TEII-D13R
and TEII-D33R Intake Silencers.
Application
Our Flex Connectors are designed to mechanically isolate the customer's blower from the
intake or discharge silencers. By isolating the blower from the silencers, vibrations and
misalignments which could damage both silencer and blower are reduced.
To ensure that a minimal amount of noise is transmitted through the flexible hose into the
atmosphere, we suggest a gap of no more than 1/4" between the silencer nozzle and the
nipple or collar attached to the blower.
For blowers with up to 5" nominal pipe size connections, threaded nipples (one end
only) can be purchased from local pipe and fitting suppliers. For blowers with 6"
flanged connections, TEII sells a 6" flange and collar assembly (TEII-A20-143).
