IP Test

Water and dust protection under test laboratory conditions to international IP standards. We test between IPX4 (waterjet) and IP68 (submersion).
Frequently Asked Questions

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.
