Connector Material Grading Chart
Not all flex connector materials perform the same. Use this grading chart to compare abrasion resistance, tear strength, weather durability, temperature range, and more across all nine connector materials we offer — from corrugated boots to cut-to-length tubing. Each grade reflects real-world performance for vibratory screening applications.
A = ExcellentB = GoodC = FairD = PoorF = Not Functional
