Jetex Exhaust Tube Stepped Sleeve - Silver

A stepped sleeve is used to connect two exhaust pipes or components that have different outer diameters, allowing for a smooth transition and secure connection.

They are available in both aluminised steel and stainless steel, offering different levels of durability and corrosion resistance.

You need to measure the outer diameter of both exhaust pipes you intend to connect and select a sleeve where the stepped internal diameters match these measurements.

While welding provides the most secure and permanent connection, many applications can use robust exhaust clamps or band clamps to secure the sleeve. Check your specific requirements.

Yes, the stepped sleeve is designed to facilitate the connection of universal silencers to exhaust systems where pipe diameters may not match directly.

Stainless steel generally offers superior corrosion resistance and a longer lifespan compared to aluminised steel, making it a better choice for harsh environments or applications where longevity is critical.

Verify that the sleeve's internal diameters accurately match the external diameters of the exhaust pipes. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fit. If the mismatch is significant, a different size sleeve is required.

Check that the clamps are tightened sufficiently or that the weld is sound. Reapply sealant if used, and ensure the sleeve is properly seated on both pipes.

If using aluminised steel in a harsh environment, consider replacing with a stainless steel version for improved corrosion resistance. Clean any superficial rust with an appropriate metal cleaner.
