Cable gland / Socket sealing insert EK 186/160 (for inner pipe diameter 150-158 mm) BP-102816

Sealing for protective pipes – protection against silting and contamination

The EK 186/160 socket sealing insert, also known as a spigot gland, is a key element protecting the ends of protective pipes against silting and sand accumulation. Its use at the ends of pipes installed underground or in cable pits ensures long-term protection against the ingress of contaminants, which translates to the reliability and durability of the installation.

Effective protection and easy installation

The design of the EK 186/160 gland has been designed with ease of installation and efficiency in mind. Made of flexible polyethylene, the two-part construction allows for multiple uses, which is particularly important during installation work. This makes it possible to quickly and easily seal pipes with an inner diameter of 150-158 mm.

Advantages for installers and users:

• Prevention of silting: The socket sealing insert effectively protects openings against silting and sand accumulation, maintaining the permeability of cable ducts.
• Reusable: The two-part construction allows the gland to be reused, reducing investment costs.
• Flexible material: Polyethylene provides adequate flexibility, making it easier to adapt to different types of pipes.
• Halogen-free material: The use of a halogen-free material increases safety and minimizes the risk of toxic gas formation in the event of a fire.
• Universal application: Ideal for use in both underground installations and cable pits.
• Simple installation: Quick and easy installation translates to time savings during installation work.

The EK 186/160 spigot gland is a reliable solution for professionals and individuals who care about the durability and safety of their electrical and telecommunications installations. It provides effective protection against the negative effects of moisture, contaminants and mechanical damage, guaranteeing long-term and trouble-free system operation.
