Modular Quick-Connect System (SMK)

The SMK system is one of Rothenberger's most appreciated innovations. This system allows for quick connection of different spiral sections or specific terminal tools for various types of obstructions. The connection is secure and robust, ensuring that the spiral does not disconnect during use, even under stress. Thanks to this feature, the DuraFlex SMK 16mm spiral can be customized according to the specific needs of each intervention.

Maintenance and Storage

To ensure maximum durability of the DuraFlex spiral, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly after each use, removing residues and debris. After cleaning, it is important to dry the spiral completely and apply a light layer of protective oil to prevent corrosion. Ideal storage is in a dry environment, preferably by coiling the spiral with wide curves to maintain its flexibility over time. By following these simple maintenance practices, the DuraFlex SMK 16mm spiral will maintain its optimal performance for numerous interventions.
