Abstract:
1. A sealing gland for sealing between an elongate member and a surface through which the member extends, the gland comprising: a sealing body having an inner membrane for sealing about the elongate member and an outer peripheral region for sealing against the surface, the inner membrane having one or more guides provided on an underside surface of the inner membrane, the underside surface of the inner membrane arranged adjacent to, and facing toward, the surface to be sealed in use, and wherein each guide represents a known elongate member option and facilitates the formation of an aperture through the inner membrane for suitably receiving the associated elongate member option therethrough in use, the outer peripheral region of the sealing body is an annular flange having a plurality of lip seals extending from an underside surface of the annular flange in a direction toward the surface to be sealed in use, and a compression ring arranged to couple the sealing body to the surface to be sealed by compressing the sealing body in use to form an effective seal, wherein the compression ring is arranged to bear against a side of the annular flange opposite the underside surface from which said lip seals extend, and to capture the annular flange between the compression ring and the surface to be sealed, causing the lip seals to compress against the surface to be sealed in use.
