Correct and safe installations

To achieve the highest standard of safety, a cable or pipe transit must be installed correctly. As there are many different types of frame – which may be either welded, bolted or glued into position – and insert block, it is essential that installers known when to use the most appropriate installation method.

For more information, please view following instructions, videos or download manuals as PDFs.

Standard frames come in eight sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
The internal width can be 60.5 ± 1 (Size 1,3,5,7) or 120.5 ± 1 (2,4,6,8).

Note that there can be limitations in type-approvals & certificates, making certain sizes inapplicable.

For size and weight please see tables in the MCT Online Catalogue:

General

The system consists of a frame, rubber blocks and a compression unit. The frame is welded or bolted to a Ex hazardous marine structure and packed with rubber blocks suited for each cable and pipe dimension. The compression unit is inserted to compress the rubber blocks against cables and pipes to establish a tight seal.

The marking of the equipment and protective system:
Group II Category 2GD Ex eb IIC Gb Ex tb IIIC Db Tamb (-60°C to+70°C)
