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

Product Information

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.” CSD Duct Seals provided extensive trials in the York and Aylesbury area using their simple yet effective product, RISE Duct Seal using a split pvc duct frame to create more space in the existing overpopulated cable ducts within the cabinets.

Conduit Sealing: Our range of conduit sealing systems have been designed to provide a simple and effective solution for watertight and gas sealing of pipes and cables in conduits, boreholes and ducts. Conduit sealing systems can be installed horizontally and vertically; they are extremely flexible.CSD produced an innovative and cost effective solution to seal our over populated broadband cable ducts. We were impressed with the flexibility of the RISE Duct Seal - the solution will be rolled out by Openreach UK wide." Murray Hayes (In Life Access Engineering Manager - U/G Network. 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.

After application and full curing the thixotropic MD+ forms a plastic elastomer mass with special qualities effectively sealing and bonding, while providing a high level of durability. 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. MD5’s resin can be installed in temperatures from 5°C (41°F). In colder temperatures, expansion can be slower but will expand and cure over a more extended time. Expansion time between 8-10 minutes at temperature ranging between 15-20°C. Cleaning 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) Comfort issues can be linked to poor temperature control from inefficient HVAC, these systems can have their efficiencies boosted by improved airtightness.
