Step 1: Know the dimensions of your sleeve
The first and most important step is knowing the size and type of sleeve you need the adapter for. This is important because the adapter must fit tightly and align perfectly with your sleeve. An improper fit can lead to inefficiencies or even damage.
For instance, an adapter can either fit directly into the sleeve without covering the outside, or you can choose a model that covers the outside with a soft seal, providing extra protection.
Step 2: Selecting the adapter type
There are two main types of adapters to choose from:
- Adapter with soft sealing
This type covers the entire outer surface of the sleeve and features a soft seal for a snug fit. The advantage of soft sealing is that it is easy to install and can be slightly compressed to ensure a tight connection. However, it has a shorter lifespan compared to hard sealing options. - Adapter with hard sealing
This type only covers the end of the sleeve and is known for its durability and longer lifespan. It is ideal for situations where longevity and low maintenance are priorities.
Maintaining your adapters
It’s important to note that soft seals tend to wear out faster, so it's a good idea to keep replacements in stock. Luckily, replacing the seal is a simple process that can be done quickly without special tools.
