The boot is packed with water-resilient grease on-site, keeping out contaminants and maximizing service life. The boot is furnished with stainless steel retainer clamps. Grease is supplied by customer.

Recommended maximum torque is 250 ft-lb. For applications with higher torque requirements, consult Trumbull. Maximum operating angle is 40 degrees.Universal Joints are bored to accept 1-1/4″ rod, but other bore sizes are available upon request.
