  2. Tubing Inlets (Fabric and Non-Fabric)
    Flexible tubing options suitable for dynamic or space-constrained installations.
  3. Threaded Fittings (Metric and English Threads)
    Precision-machined fittings to match international and OEM thread standards.
  4. O-Ring Press-In Fittings
    Designed to press-fit into machined holes, providing a compact, leak-tight connection.
  5. Schrader Valves
    Ideal for applications where a constant air supply is unavailable and the inflatable seal must remain inflated for extended periods.
