What's the best way to drill a blank bang?
Before drilling holes, freeze the blank seal in a freezer, this makes it very easy to accurately and neatly drill the hole. For best fit around cables drill a hole Ø1-2mm larger than the cable diameter. When drilling into a frozen blank seal this hole will look far too big but when the seal defrosts, it will be a good tight fit.
Can this cable seal be installed below the waterline?
No, these seals are designed to be installed above the waterline.

Corrosion Test
100-hours of a special formula salt spray that simulates accelerated marine environmental effects on the product.
FEA Analysis
Finite Element Analysis, simulates the behaviour of the design in virtual conditions to allow us to optimise the design before prototyping and physical testing.
Material Test
Positive Material Identification (PMI) ensures consistent quality of 316 Stainless Steel and Aluminium products. This controls strength and environmental performance.
Accelerated UV Material Test
We accelerate the effects of UV exposure to replicate our products usage in extreme tropical climates. We do this to ensure parts do not become brittle, discolour or fail over time.
PROP65
Confirms the exclusion of substances of very high concern in our products, with the aim of protecting human and animal health.
IP Test
Water and dust protection under test laboratory conditions to international IP standards. We test between IPX4 (waterjet) and IP68 (submersion).Related Products
