Protect Against & Prevent Seepage/Leakage Through Switch Panel Cutout

These reusable self-sealing washers are designed for use

with popular sealed switches and circuit breakers. While

such sealed switches are designed to tolerate hostile envi-

ronments (such as salt spray, wash-downs, lubricating fluids,

weather, dust and other contaminants) that may compro-

mise reliable switch operation, they typically do not seal the

panel cutout in which they are mounted. Hence, these same

contaminants may “leak past” the bushing through the panel

cutout causing equipment/system failures.

Designed to prevent such leakage, each is fabricated from

a stainless steel washer with a bonded high-tear strength

silicone rubber sealing ring. The soft resilient ring conforms

to the panel surface to seal out harmful contaminants.

• Seals the panel cutout in which the circuit breaker is

mounted, protecting behind-panel components from

dirt/moisture. No O-ring required.

• Reusable in the event the switch or circuit breaker fails

and replacement is needed.

• Easy to install without the need for special tools, sealing

compounds, sealing tapes, et al.

• Does not compromise switch or circuit breaker performance.

• Meets stringent Military, UL and Canadian National

Standards regarding environmental requirements for

electrical enclosures.

• UL Recognized for Type 4X & Type 6 enclosure protection.

• Meets IEC IP66/68 enclosure protection

Note: Where the possibility of build up of ice, dirt or

other contaminants can accumulate in the toggle breaker

external actuating mechanism, we recommend using a full

or half silicone sealing boot which will protect the actuator

mechanism and keep it operating smoothly, and its perimeter

seal will protect the mounting hole from potential seepage.
