Pressure And Vacuum Electronics

PAVE-Seal Wire Harnesses are ideal for the reliable sealingof fuel systems. PAVE-Seals are designed with any electricalwire type or insulation with NO detectable leakage through thestranded copper conductors or insulation. This includes Teflon
insulated wire for low or high pressure applications or vacuum
seals for use between - 60 C° to +150 C°
PAVE-Seals provide you with a variety of benefits, including:• Long-term proven seal reliability• Cost effectiveness by the elimination of
bulkhead pin connections• Easy custom design capability• Quick push-in installation of epoxy molded,
O-ring sealed thru-bulkhead hermetic seals
PAVE-Seals are utilized in a wide variety of automotive
and defense-related fuel system applications, including
use in alternative fuel systems such as:• Propane• Natural gas• Hydrogen fuel cells
