Molded Parts
CES
Applications
Raychem Heat-Shrinkable
Cable-Entry Seals (CESs)
provide a watertight,
fume-tight seal where
cables enter connection
boxes, bulkheads, or other
enclosures.
CESs are available in two
basic types: standardand
threaded. The standard
CES for thin-wall enclosures
consists of a three-part
assembly — a rigid plastic
nylon nut, an O-ring, and a
heat-shrinkable molded
area. The CES for threaded-
hole applications is a one-
part assembly that combines
atapered national pipe
thread (NPT) in rigid plastic
nylon with a heat-shrinkable
molded area.
All CESs are available with
the molded area configured
with one opening for a sin-
gle wireor cable entryor
with two, three, or four legs
Product Facts
nComes in many sizes and
configurations
nSeals multicable openings
nSAE-AS81765/1 Type 1
nSeals per U.S. Coast Guard
HQ 3774 in wet, dry, and
corrosive locations
of equal size to seal multi-
ple wires or cables at the
entry to enclosures and/or
bulkheads. To meet sealing
requirements, all CESs have
factory-applied adhesive
that provides the seal to
wireand cable jackets.
When armored cable is
being sealed it may be
necessaryto use additional
sealants, such as G.E. RTV
112 or Dow Corning RTV
732, to form the water seal.
Heat-Shrinkable Cable
Entry Seals
Step 1
Place rigid, externally threaded nut
through hole so flanged end is on
the inside of the can or cabinet.
Step 2
Place O-ring over threaded end and
position against outside of can or
cabinet.
Step 3
Screw shrinkable, internally
threaded component onto the rigid
nut and tighten, using appropriate
spanner wrenches, until O-ring is
slightly flattened — or use the
torque values shown in the table to
the left.
Step 4
Insertcable through expanded
opening and make necessary con-
nections (see note following Step 4
in the next section).
Step 5
Shrink expanded nose by applying
121˚C-135˚C [250˚F-275˚F] of heat
from a heat gun with circular reflec-
tor, or a gas torch, or other heat
source.* When parthas shrunk to
the cable, and when the sealant is
seen to flow, discontinue heat.
Additional heating will not make the
component shrink tighter.
*Follow the safety precautions of the manufacturer
of the heater.
Step 1
Apply a thread sealant to the
threaded end and then screw
threaded cable entry seal into pre-
tapped hole or pipe fitting.
Step 2
Tighten by applying wrench to
hexagonal nut.
Step 3
Insert cable through expanded
opening and make necessarycon-
nection (see Note).
Step 4
Shrink expanded nose by applying
121˚C-135˚C [250˚F-275˚F] of heat
from a heat gun with circular reflec-
tor, gas torch, or other heat source.*
When part has shrunk to the cable,
and when the sealant is seen to
flow,discontinue heat. Additional
heating will not make the compo-
nent shrink tighter.
Note
If armored cable is used, the
factory-applied sealant will not fill
the interstices of the armor. The
armor must be cut back so that the
partis allowed to shrink and seal to
the cable sheath as well as come
down over the armor. To keep the
armor from unraveling, some armor
must be approximately 1/4 inch to
3/8 inch [.01 to .02 mm] inside the
cable entry seal leg.
*Follow the safety precautions of the manufacturer
of the heater.
