Product Benefits

  • Two varieties available, giving the precaster a choice of installation techniques
  • Accommodates variation in hole sizes through an adjustable hoop 
  • Meets or exceeds ASTM C923 and BNQ 2622-420 specifications 
  • Suitable for 2” (50 mm) through 18” (450 mm) connecting pipes 
  • Standard and oil-resistant versions available 

The beauty of the MIB series is its simple and functional design. The boot conforms to various hole sizes with an adjustable hoop. The jet clamp provides a quick installation of the connecting pipe. And repeated installation and removal can be completed without damage to the connector.

Tylox® Adjustable Boot Connectors utilize a hydraulic jack for installation, spreading the internal hoop to tighten the seal with the concrete hole. The hydraulic jacks can be purchased from HK.

Alternatively, Tylox® Cobra Boot connectors are installed with a torque wrench and socket. As the bolt in the mechanism tightens, the internal hoop expands against the inside of the concrete hole until the proper torque is achieved. Torque wrenches are available from HK.
