ZKADE/V sealing element (valve)

Coated with cellular rubber for telecommunication cables

The universal sealing system for cable ducts, cable distributors
and service entries in the telecommunications sector.

For duct ID Ø 40 - 150 mm.

For installations in running or standing water.

4 x reusable.

General: ZKADE/V sealing element

ZKADE/V sealing elements with a valve are reusable seals (Fibre Optics CT patent, registered under EP 17972224.3) with a cellular rubber coating, equivalent to the coating with swelling material (QADE/V-L), which has had undiminished success on the market since 2013.

Application-specific requirements, such as installation under running or standing water, created the need for the new technology with cellular rubber.

The sealing element (valve) fulfils the requirements of the T-Com TS 0307/96
(Approval No. Wolf 2005-08-11 ADE 100 (valve)).

Wolf sealing elements provide the user with a durable, reliable seal in a temperature range
-15°C to +30°C (+45°C for a short period of 4h).

 

Product description:

Sealing cushion materials:
The flat tube cushion is made of a five-layered aluminium laminate.
The high quality of both material and processing guarantees a very low diffusion/leak rate of ~ 0.73 mbarl / year and ensures a long service life.

 

The filling unit:
In order to be able to fill the sealing cushion several times (4 times), a patented metal air valve with a plastic-coated valve extension is connected to the sealing cushion by means of a heat-seal welding process. The pressure is filled via a pressure hose, which is plugged onto the sealing cushion to fill the car valve. After the pressure has been filled, the valve is sealed pressure-tight with the valve cap.

Product features:

Tight against gas diffusion, dust, water (5 m water column) and chemical mixtures

 

The high-quality, robust aluminium laminate …

  • adapts flexibly to the sealing area, independently of
    cable diameter and configuration or contamination by dirt
     
  • ensures a long service life
     
  • is resistant to chemical mixtures pH2 to pH12, fuels etc.


Coated with cellular rubber product group WO 24.2 ZK-DBK ...

  • ensures tightness up to 0.5 bar/ 5 m water column immediately on contact with water
     
  • tight against creeping gases (volatile halogenated hydrocarbons in the soil air ≤ 100 mbar)
  • for installations in running or stagnant water
     
  • allows quick, easy removal (< 2 min). No adhesion! Makes damage-free removal possible.


The patented car tyre valve construction …

  • Is simply inflated with compressed air (CO2-free!)
     
  • makes on-site overpressure inflation technology simple
     
  • allows flexible adaptation of the inflated cushion to fit the
    surrounding space and prevents buckling of cables and ducts
    or changes in technical transmission properties
     
  • facilitates quick removal of air after cable retrofitting, by using
    accessory vacuum pump 33 VMSP or by changing the valve insert
     
  • facilitates damage-free removal and re-installation
