Common Concerns Answered
Will I need to cut the blank seals?
The Scanstrut DS21A-P-BLK includes both pre-drilled and blank inner seals. While the pre-drilled seals offer immediate use for common cable sizes, precise trimming of the blank seals may be necessary for a perfect fit with specific cable diameters, ensuring optimal watertight integrity.
Is this the most cost-effective solution for cable sealing?
While the initial purchase price may exceed that of basic cable glands, the Scanstrut DS21A-P-BLK's IP68 rating and split-seal design significantly reduce installation time and eliminate the risk of leaks, offering superior long-term value and peace of mind.
What if my cable diameter falls outside the specified range?
The DS21A-P-BLK is designed for cable diameters between 4-9mm (.17"-.31"). For cables outside this range, alternative Scanstrut models or compatible adapters may be required to ensure a secure and watertight seal.
