Jaeger-UniTek Sealing Solutions has released a new AquaDiverter for use in combination with its’ Flip ‘N Seal sealing system in RV slide outs.
“Many OEM customers have converted to Jaeger’s patented, integrated, one-component, slide-out sealing system,” said Kyle Upp, Jaeger-UniTek RV market manager, “Our … customers began to ask us to invent a novel ‘corner cup,’ which effectively directs water from our seal to the exterior of the vehicle.”
Jaeger-Unitek engineers invented the AquaDiverter after customer feedback, the company said. The device incorporates an angled lip to fit directly onto the bottom pan of the company’s slide-out seal. The AquaDiverter includes stiffening ribs to withstand load demand and a sloped bottom surface. Recessed water troughs facilitate water drainage.
“Our experience in evaluating, testing and specifying proven engineered thermoplastic polymers for automotive sealing applications significantly contributes to our team’s ability to create new RV sealing technologies for water management applications,” said Jason Cackley, Jaeger-UniTek lead application engineer. “This expertise, combined with our RV Flip ‘N Seal product line, played a significant role in inventing the AquaDiverter.”
Jaeger-UniTek Sealing Solutions, Inc. is an engineered rubber and thermoplastic profile extrusion manufacturer serving the RV and other industries. Jaeger-UniTek is a member of the Jager Group, based in Hanover, Germany.
