A cable glands ability to offer Ingress Protection against water and dust is only as good as its sealing washer. Most cable glands, if fitted without a washer or if the washer is damaged, offer only IP54 protection at best. In Hazardous Areas, where IP66/7 is often the required protection level, missing or damaged washers can cause serious issues.

The RetroSeal® split Ingress Protection (IP) washer enables fast, effective retrofitting of missing, damaged, or degraded seals on existing cable gland installations—without the need to dismantle the gland or disconnect the cable.

Its innovative 2-part design allows installation in situ, significantly simplifying maintenance in live or critical systems. Independently tested to IP66/7, RetroSeal® delivers a reliable, long-term seal at the equipment-to-gland interface, ensuring continued protection in demanding industrial and hazardous environments. By eliminating full gland removal, RetroSeal® dramatically reduces labour time, material usage, and manpower requirements. The result is a highly cost-effective maintenance solution that minimises downtime and operational disruption. In live or critical systems disconnecting and re-terminating cables can introduce unnecessary hazards and extended outages. The RetroSeal® split washer eliminates this requirement, allowing technicians to restore or upgrade the IP seal quickly and safely, even on fully installed glands.

Manufactured from UV- and ozone resistant materials and available in a range of sizes from M20 to M63, RetroSeal® provides a robust, rapid sealing solution for both planned maintenance and urgent repairs.

• Reduced Labor: Repairs are completed faster without the need to remove or re-terminate and test cables.
• Lower Downtime: Quick installation minimizes process interruptions & downtime.
• No Material Waste: The design allows for the reuse of existing cable glands.
• Efficiency: The 2-part split design features a simple, fast, and secure installation method, rated to IP66/7.
