Detailed description

The BLUE SEA CableClam 0.83" is a cable gland designed to ensure reliable sealing of cable entries through marine decks and bulkheads. It is a key component for managing electrical and electronic cables across surfaces exposed to marine elements.

Design and dimensions

This cable gland consists of a deck ring, a sealing gasket, and a compression ring. Its overall dimensions are 2.17 inches (55.03 mm) in length, with a height of 0.90 inch (22.92 mm) when installed. The gasket diameter is 0.78 inch (19.69 mm). Installation requires a mounting hole for a #8 screw, ensuring a secure attachment to the surface. The design allows for discreet and functional integration, similar to other sealing solutions from BLUE SEA or competitors like Seaview, but with a focus on simplicity and efficiency for specific cable diameters.

Installation and performance

Installing the CableClam 0.83" involves drilling the gasket to match the cable diameter, then slitting the gasket from its edge to the center. The deck ring and gasket are then secured, the cable inserted, and the gasket pressed into the compression ring before tightening the latter onto the deck ring. This method ensures progressive compression of the gasket around the cable, creating a watertight seal. It is critical not to overtighten the screws to avoid damaging components, ensuring long-term durability of the installation and maintaining sealing integrity over time.

« Mastering watertightness of single cable penetrations »

The BLUE SEA CableClam 0.83" is a critical component for any installer concerned with the integrity of electrical and electronic systems aboard. Its practical value lies in providing a single-cable watertight entry point, protecting the boat's interior from saltwater intrusion—the primary cause of corrosion and equipment failure.

This model is ideal for cable runs of sensors, antennas, or small bundles. Installation is straightforward but requires careful attention to the gland hole: it is essential to use a drill bit matching the cable diameter, keeping the hole wet for a clean cut to ensure optimal gland compression. Slitting the gland with a utility knife is a critical step to prevent damaging the cable's insulation during insertion.

Compared to traditional cable glands, the CableClam offers a more aesthetic and often faster-to-install solution for a single cable. It differs from larger or multi-cable models by specifically addressing single-cable needs with minimal footprint. Its only potential drawback is that it is cable-size-specific for maximum watertightness; choosing the CableClam matching your cable diameter is therefore crucial to ensure long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BLUE SEA's CableClam 0.83" and what is its primary function?

The BLUE SEA CableClam 0.83" is a cable gland designed to ensure reliable waterproofing when routing cables through decks and bulkheads of your boat. It consists of a deck ring, a sealing gasket, and a compression ring, providing a robust solution for managing electrical and electronic cables in a marine environment.

How to prepare the sealing gasket of the CableClam before inserting the cable?

Sealing the gasket is done in two steps:

Drill the gasket with a sharp bit of the same diameter as the cable you want to pass through. It is recommended to keep the drilling area wet. The hole will be slightly smaller than the cable.Use a fine-blade knife to slit the gasket from its outer edge to the central hole you just drilled.

What is the procedure for securing the CableClam 0.83" to the surface?

The mounting procedure is as follows:

Secure the deck ring and gasket to the mounting surface using a #8 screw. Slide the compression ring onto the cable, then insert the cable through the gasket slot. Press the gasket into the compression ring. Screw the compression ring to the deck ring, tightening each screw a few turns at a time.

Is there any specific torque specification for screws during installation?

Yes, it is important to tighten the compression ring screws progressively, alternating turns on each screw. Do not overtighten the screws to avoid damaging the product or the mounting surface and to ensure optimal compression of the gasket.
