Gardner Bender DS-130 Duct Seal Compound, 1 lb. Pug, No Size, Grey

Product Information

We'll start with some information about polyurethane DIY foam comparing to our MD5 Duct sealing Resin. All duct sealing systems chosen have their strengths and weaknesses bar one. DIY expanding foam is inexplicably popular as a duct sealing solution. This is despite the fact that any duct sealed with it looks like it has some sort of malignent growth coming from it. Trusted – WIMES (Waters Industry Mechanical & Electrical Specification) accepted for duct sealing in the water utility sector Selection should be at the design stage, where the seal requirements can be matched to the overall project. Typically, a design specification will require water, gas and perhaps fire resistance together with specific chemical resistance. The life of the seal needed should also be considered. Every seal manufacturer should be able to provide proof of expected life. Over-engineering the seal design should also be avoided. A duct sealing solution that meets the specific needs of the application is the right solution.

The CSDDuct Seal trials were a resounding success, culminating with Openreach rolling this out nationwide within their update of cabinets. In addition CSD Duct Seals are also looking to provide training for all of Openreach installation personnel and are currently working together to provide another project solution. The MDII system is suitable in situations where more than one cable or pipe is in the duct. The opening of the duct does not need to be completely round. Re-enterable – CSD duct seals enable simple modification for adding, removing or replacing cables in retrofit projects Flexible – the sealing system can be employed to seal circular, round or rectangular ducts or building penetrationsComplies with 2011 NEC Articles 225.27, 230.8, 300.5(G), 300.7 (A) on Raceway Seals, and 501.15 (B)(2) Properties of Cured resin: Fairley dense structure however can be dug out with a blunt tool & Hammer with some degree of difficulty.(Please note there is between 10-15 cm (4-6”) of the expanding resin in each seal depending on the size of duct) In this highly complicated operation, Johnny McQuoid, SFBB programme director for BT Group highlighted the technical challenges of the roll-out. “This is the first large-scale FTTP deployment of its kind in the UK,” he said. “It’s a trial of our planning, building and provisioning processes and we’re learning a lot along the way.” If there is room and the cables are de-energized, a power tool to speed the process up could be used. Once the seal is broken from the cable, there may be a crust of resin still present on the cable; this is due to the excellent adhesion our resin has. The hardest part of removing this seal is the crust that forms when the resin soaks into the foam flange. Safety

FiloSeal+ is suitable for sealing several cables or pipes contained in one duct and also allows re-entry of the seal to add or remove cables or pipes as required. FiloSeal+HD is an engineered solution that provides a strong support system using the hexagonal tubes which builds up like a honeycomb structure. FiloSeal+HD is suitable for sealing any cable configuration or pipes contained in one duct and also allows easy re-entry of the seal to add or remove cables or pipes as required Training and preparation - First, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Like any other job a field mechanic performs, it requires knowledge and skill. Duct sealing solutions should be engineered into the job and training completed in advance of the fieldwork. Energy saving calculations can be carried out after application, but it has been possible to reduce fan speeds and is some cases, reduce fan size after Aeroseal, whilst still achieving the required air volumes. MD5 Duct Sealing System Vs DIY Expanding Foam The use of expanding foam in construction & mainatenance projects in all industries has increased over time, but it faces major problems when applied wrong, or designed into a project where the foam specs doesnt match the requirements of the project. In this BLOG, we'll cover the reasons why expanding foam fails when sealing cable ducts and what you can do about it.

FiloSeal+ is suitable for sealing several cables or pipes contained in a single duct and allows for re-entry of the seal to add or remove cables or pipes

CSD RISE cable duct seals are specified throughout the electric and water utility networks to provide protection of ducts and duct openings against the dangers of water ingress and gas migration with up to 4 hour fire resistance to the spread of flame where cables penetrate fire rated boundaries and building openings – the watertight, gastight and fire resistant seals provide duct protection with accelerated age tests concluding a 50 year level of protection. duct sealing using csd rise seals Should any un-mixed material spill onto a surface, a solvent wipe can be used to help clean the area. Reentering & removal

Filoform duct sealing systems have been developed to provide an effective gas and watertight seal of underground cable penetrations. When installing our duct sealing system MDII, you will protect valuables from damage which is caused by gas and water leaks. High Voltage – 11kV and 33kV substation cable ducts are sealed to protect against flood waters and dangerous corrosive gases Duct Seals & Sealing Systems | Watertight | Gastight | Fire Resistant | Resist Rodents | Cable Sealing Products LV MV HV Cable Duct Seals Following discussions, CSD Duct Seals were brought on board after providing a bespoke solution not only to a technical issue within the green cabinets, but a dramatic cost effective solution to Openreach.FiloSeal+ is a universal solution for sealing cables and pipes in ducts or bore holes and is suitable for sealing several cables or pipes contained in one duct and also allows re-entry of the seal to add/remove cables or pipes as required. Power Cables – specified to seal high voltage and heavy armoured power cables in single, trefoil or Triplex arrangement FiloSeal+ is very easy to apply regardless of the type of cable scenario in the cable ducts as it uses a uniquely shaped foam piece which positions neatly around the cables or pipes in the duct. Ductwork systems that have a better air tightness, lose less energy than leakier ones. HVAC running costs make up a very substantial part of a building’s operational cost and some of this cost may be recovered by reducing ductwork leakage. The Filoform duct sealing system FiloSeal+ uses our MD+ sealant which is easily applied from a standard skeleton gun. The high quality, one component, flexible sealant “MD+” is based on a silicon compound that cures with air (Humidity).
