General Rubber’s Style 5100D Advanced Restrained Dismantling spool type body is constructed with full rubber flanges, a high-grade leak-proof tube, multiple layers of high strength tire cord, high tensile steel reinforcement, a seamless cover and hot dip galvanized steel retaining rings. Control units are typically internally attached and used as limit rods for secondary restraint or as tie rods when the support structure or adjacent equipment have load limitations.  This optimally designed arrangement is an effective solution to absorb large all-directional movement and facilitate access to piping and equipment as well as for unmatched ease of installation
