Scanstrut offers a range of glands designed to ensure safe and watertight cable routing through vessel bulkheads. These components are essential for maintaining structural integrity and preventing water ingress.
Vertical Stuffing Glands
Vertical entry glands are ideal for installations where cables must pass vertically through surfaces. One example is the DS16-P model, suitable for cables from 2 to 8 mm in diameter and connectors up to 16 mm. This gland features an aesthetically pleasing, impact-resistant dome profile, with locking nuts in the base for easy installation.
Horizontal Stuffing Glands
For applications where cables must be routed horizontally, Scanstrut offers horizontal cable glands, ideal for devices such as solar panels, light bars, and other roof-mounted equipment. These glands are available in high-impact plastic in gray and black, offering both functionality and a pleasing aesthetic.
Multi-Cable Stuffing Gland
For installations requiring multiple cables to be routed through a single point, Scanstrut offers multi-cable solutions. These glands ensure quick installation and a 100% watertight seal, without the need for marine sealants. They are particularly suitable for solar panels, light bars, and other roof-mounted electronics. Available in high-impact plastic in gray or black, the materials used are selected for their UV resistance and durability.
Packings , also known as compression packings or soft packings, provide a strong seal around shafts or spindles to prevent fluids from leaking from cavities such as valves or pumps under pressure. While Scanstrut doesn't appear to specifically offer packings in its catalog, you can find them at suppliers specializing in marine equipment.
By choosing Scanstrut cable glands, you ensure safe and long-lasting cable installation on board, maintaining the structural integrity of the vessel and preventing water ingress.
