FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Skintop DV-M 20 sealing insert?

Its primary purpose is to seal unused openings in cable gland systems, preventing moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering electrical enclosures.

What does IP68 mean in relation to this product?

IP68 signifies a high level of protection, meaning the insert and the gland system it's part of are protected against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water under specified conditions.

Can this sealing insert be used for actual cable entries?

No, this insert is specifically designed for blanking off *unused* cable gland ports. For active cable entries, a correctly sized and specified cable gland must be used.

What is the material of the sealing insert?

The sealing insert is made of CR (Chloroprene Rubber), a material known for its good resistance to weathering, ozone, and moderate oils.

How many sealing inserts are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 250 pieces of the Skintop DV-M 20 sealing inserts.

Is this product compatible with non-LAPP cable glands?

While it's designed for LAPP SKINTOP systems, compatibility with other brands' M20 metric glands depends on precise internal dimensions. It is recommended for use with LAPP SKINTOP glands for guaranteed performance.

Troubleshooting

Sealing insert does not fit

Verify that the cable gland has an M20 metric thread. This insert is not compatible with PG or other thread types.

Water ingress still present

Ensure the sealing insert is correctly seated within the cable gland's sealing ring and that the cable gland is properly tightened. Check if the cable gland itself is damaged or improperly selected for the application.

Insert appears to be degrading

While CR material is durable, extreme chemical exposure can cause degradation. Confirm the insert's suitability for the specific environmental chemicals present.
