Self-tightening silicone rubber tubular gasket for our cables Ø 5,4 (.212”) or 7,3mm (.287”) or 10,3mm (.400”) or 12,7mm (.500”) , matched to any one of our related connectors and adapters (Except 7/16 and right-angle connectors if installed before inserting it).
M&P-Silicone-Seal-L : reliable optimal tubular gasket that quickly seals the male-female connection , or connector-adapter-connector , tightly, hermetically, and seamlessly. No flame or heat is required.
It is also handy as a strain relief , for increasing the tensile strength between cable and connector!

The M&P-silicone-seal is factory expanded and assembled onto a removable supporting plastic core. The pre-stretched M&P-silicone-seal-L , as the core is unwound, (from the inside), shrinks to form a thick and tight tubular gasket. Retains its resiliency and pressure even after years of aging and exposure to Ultra-violet rays, acids, condensation and harsh environments, with operating temperature range -60℃ ~ 90℃ (-76°F~194°F).
Fiammability V-0 burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen, drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
How to use:
1) Once the connectors have been assembled on the two cable sections to be connected, insert one of them inside the M&P-Silicone-Seal-L and let it slide sideways over the cable jacket.
2) After tightening the connectors to each other, make the M&P-Silicone-Seal-L slide over the connectors to be protected.
3) Then, while holding the M&P-Silicone-Seal-L in place, pull the protruding strip you can find inside one end of the white supporting plastic core (following the direction of the red arrow) . Make sure the black silicone rubber placed over the plastic core, is well centered over the connectors to be protected, as this operation is not reversible . See also our video on the Messi & Paoloni YouTube® Channel which can also be reached via the QR CODE attachment.
4) By continuing to pull the strip (which will come off forming a free spiral), the black silicone rubber, deprived of its plastic core support, will shrink, settling permanently on the cable and connectors, embedding them very tightly.
This high-speed operation, which does not require any flame or heat , is completed, allowing you to operate in cold and windy environments or on top of towers without worries and assuring a professional and durable result!
