Air Connections: Types 1, 2, 3, 4 & 7

For endless seals, the standard location for the air connection is on the underside that mates with the mounting surface. For seals with closed solid ends, the air connection can either be on the underside or extending out of one end. For some Types 2, 3 and 4 profiles a third location, in the sidewall, is available (consult Pawling for feasibility). The standard profiles section lists which air connections are available for each profile. Some of the air connections are more resistant to abusive handling than others. In these cases, consult Pawling for air connection selection.
