Product Description
Liquid Tight Break Through Plugs - 22.2mm Mounting Hole Diameter - 3.3mm-11.4mm Cable Diameter Range - 32.5mm Head Diameter - Nylon & TPE | Vital Parts - BLA542
Our Liquid Tight Break Through Plugs provide a versatile and reliable sealing solution for electrical panels and enclosures, combining fluid protection with flexible usability. These plugs offer IP67/IP68-rated liquid tight sealing and can be used either as a closed plug to prevent ingress or perforated to function as a liquid tight bushing for cable pass-through. Suitable for a range of panel thicknesses and hole diameters, they are ideal for industrial, automotive, and outdoor applications.
What are Liquid Tight Break Through Plugs?
Liquid Tight Break Through Plugs are co-moulded sealing components made from durable Nylon 6/6 and flexible TPE rubber. The "break through" design allows the plug to remain sealed until a cable is pushed through, forming a liquid tight bushing. Alternatively, it can be used as a closed plug to prevent moisture, dirt, or dust ingress. With locking fingers that expand to accommodate variable panel thicknesses and a flammability rating of HB, these plugs are engineered to withstand harsh environments while offering long-term sealing and safety.
Key Features:
- Manufactured from co-moulded Nylon 6/6 and TPE rubber
- Dual-function as a liquid tight closure or bushing
- Certified to IP67 and IP68 for dust and water protection
- Break-through membrane allows easy cable insertion
- HB flammability rating for safety assurance
- Temperature resistance from -40°C to +100°C
- Locking fingers adjust for varying panel thicknesses (minimum 0.5mm)
Key Applications and Industries
Liquid Tight Break Through Plugs are widely used across the UK in the electrical, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial machinery sectors. They are especially effective in protecting electrical cabinets, junction boxes, or enclosures from water, oil, and dust. Their flexibility allows use in both sealed and cable-through applications, making them ideal for installers who require adaptability and speed during installation.
