Rubber Sleeve and Flex Connector Fabrications
We offer fast turnaround for Straight or Tapered (Conical) Flex Connectors, which are commonly referred to as socks, boots, tubes or rubber sleeves.
You can trust that RK Rubber won't take shortcuts on the way to high quality. Some rubber fabricators rely on a cold-bond adhesive process or fabric. Those shortcuts create weak, brittle joints, which are prone to tearing.
At Reichel-Korfmann, we use uncured compounds in our splicing techniques
for all types of sleeve manufacturing.

we hot vulcanize the seams with
