Installation
One Kit per Box
All components are included to seal 1 x duct as per the kit size mentioned (A caulking gun is not included but can be sold separately). ** One kit may fill more than one duct, depending on the cable % filled. Call 0161 806 1666 for advice**
Cable Separation
It's imperative to ensure separation between each cable and from the inside of the duct. Our unique daisy-chained circular tubes easily separate and support single or multiple wires.
Running Water
The duct & cables should be dry for best results with no running water. All dirt, oil or grease must be cleaned before applying GreyStuff or Red Stuff. If you have running water, please get in touch with AC Cable Solutions for advice on 0161 806 1666. Most of the time, we recommend using a Kraso Mechanical seal - Click here for further information.
Cure Time
Grey Stuff & Red Stuff will cure 3-4mm daily, depending on the Humidity and temperature. The higher the humidity % and temperature, the quicker GreyStuff will cure. A minimum requirement of 20mm Grey Stuff & red Stuff is required for an effective seal.
Cleaning
Uncured material spillages can be cleaned with a solvent-based wipe.
Health & Safety
Grey Stuff is based on a neutral curing system that is hazard-free to protect users when carrying out tasks like sealing cable ducts. Non-hazardous Zero MEKO.
Compliance
Duct Seal LG complies with WIMES, APEA, ATEX & DSEAR, SEWAGE FOR ADOPTION, and the DCG guidance.
Re-entry & Removal
Grey Stuff & Red Stuff will cure a similar hardness to a rubber eraser, so re-entry and removal are achievable. The ease of this depends on the type of tools used. For example, a sharper tool will be easier than a blunt-ended tool. Only use sharp tools when cables are de-energised. AC Cable Solutions accepts no responsibility for damaged cables.
Cable Suitability
GreyStuff & Red Stuff is a single-component neutral curing system containing no solvents. Our formulation does not damage the properties of a cable sheath or stain surfaces.
Storage
Grey Stuff and Red Stuff should be kept in a cool, dry environment and away from sunlight. The product shelf life is 12 months. Once opened, any remaining product can be used for one month, provided the screwcap is securely fitted.
