Installation of a Roxtec rectangular transit

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing a Roxtec rectangular cable and pipe transit. You will learn how to properly fill and seal the transit frame using flexible sealing modules and a compression unit. This is essential for ensuring a reliable seal around electrical and mechanical services, protecting against water, dust, and other environmental factors.

Step 1: Gather Components and Tools

Before starting the installation, collect all necessary components and tools:

• Roxtec rectangular frame
• Flexible sealing modules
• Compression unit
• Cables or pipes to be sealed
• Tools for opening preparation (e.g., drill, screwdriver)

Step 2: Choose Installation Options

Determine the installation option that best suits your project's needs. There are various configurations based on the number and type of cables or pipes to be installed.

Step 3: Prepare the Frame Opening

• Ensure the opening in the structure where the frame will be installed is clean and clear of debris.
• Confirm that the frame fits snugly within the opening, making any necessary adjustments to accommodate the frame.

Step 4: Insert Cables or Pipes

• Carefully insert the cables or pipes into the opening.
• Ensure that they are positioned correctly and that there is enough space for sealing modules to fit around them.

Step 5: Adapt the Modules

• Select the appropriate flexible sealing modules based on the size and number of cables or pipes.
• If needed, trim the modules to ensure a proper fit.

Step 6: Install the Modules

• Start installing the flexible sealing modules around the cables or pipes.
• Ensure that each module fits tightly against the cables and the frame to maintain an effective seal.

Step 7: Prepare the Compression Unit

• Assemble the compression unit as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Make sure all components are in working order and ready for installation.

Step 8: Tighten the Seal

• Position the compression unit over the installed modules.
• Use the appropriate tools to tighten the compression unit, securing the modules against the cables or pipes.
• Check for any gaps or loose fittings, adjusting as necessary to ensure a tight seal.

Step 9: Make a Final Check

• Once everything is tightened, perform a final inspection of the installation.
• Verify that all components are secured and that there are no visible gaps.

Step 10: Disassembly and Reinstallation

• If you need to disassemble the transit for any reason, carefully reverse the steps above.
• Reinstall the transit by following the steps again, ensuring all components are correctly fitted.
