TRS - RUTASEAL® RUBBER GROMMET EPDM
RUTASEAL is a rubber grommet
RUTASEAL is a cable seal that is very simple to use and does not require any installation tools. The Rutaseal rubber grommet with its pop-out membrane ensures a round hole every time safeguarding the IP67 rating.
We recommend that if the ‘pop-out-membrane’ does not completely pop-out during installation, that you remove it completely by hand.
RUTASEAL is SEMKO tested for IP67 internally and externally. The chloroprene version is also DNV approved.
RUTASEAL is produced in EPDM and Chloroprene rubber in both PG and Metric sizes. The seals are produced in black, light grey and grey.
RUTASEAL is ideal where space is restricted and the cable seal adapts to round surfaces.
RUTASEAL has a very high finish and the automated production process ensures the same even and high quality on all products.
