Abstract:

This electrical conduit end seal includes a cylindrical walled member having an opening at one end dimensioned to receive the conduit. The end opening terminates in a first partition having at least one aperture through which a cable in the conduit may pass in a friction fit. A second partition is parallel to and spaced apart from the first partition and has at least one corresponding aperture through which the cable may pass in a friction fit. The first and second partitions form, together with the cylinder wall, a sealing chamber. The sealing chamber has first and second openings communicating from the chamber to the exterior of the end seal. In use, the end seal is fastened to the conduit with the cable extending through the partition apertures. A caulking gun or other suitable dispenser is used to inject a curable resinous material or other sealing material through one of the chamber openings. The other chamber opening allows escape of air while the material is filling the chamber.
