Detailed description

BLUE SEA’s CableClam 0.83" is a cable gland designed to ensure reliable sealing of cable entries through marine decks and bulkheads. Part of the CableClam series (including PN 1001, 1002, and 1003 for different cable sizes), this model is optimized for cables with a diameter matching its 0.83" (≈ 21 mm) seal. It is a critical component for routing electrical and electronic cables through 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" (55.03 mm) in length, 0.94" (23.94 mm) in width, and 0.90" (22.92 mm) in height when installed. The gasket diameter is 0.78" (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 compressed 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 and seal integrity.

« Mastering watertightness of single cable penetrations »

The BLUE SEA CableClam 0.83" is an essential component for any installer concerned with the integrity of electrical and electronic systems aboard. Its practical value lies in its ability to provide a watertight entry point for a single cable, thereby protecting the interior of the boat from saltwater infiltration, the primary cause of corrosion and equipment failure.

This model is ideal for cable passes for sensors, antennas, or small bundles requiring a 0.83-inch diameter. Installation is straightforward but requires careful attention to joint drilling: it is essential to use a drill bit the same size as the cable, keeping the hole wet for a clean cut, to ensure optimal joint compression. Slitting the joint with a cutter is a critical step to avoid damaging the cable insulation during insertion.

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

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

BLUE SEA's CableClam 0.83" is a cable gland designed to ensure reliable watertight sealing when routing cables through decks and bulkheads on 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.

What are the physical dimensions of the CableClam 0.83" once installed?

Once installed, the CableClam 0.83" has the following overall dimensions:

Length: 2.17 inches (55.03 mm)Width: 0.94 inch (23.94 mm)Height: 0.90 inch (22.92 mm)

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

Sealing gasket preparation is done in two steps:

Drill the gasket with a sharp bit of the same diameter as the cable you intend 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:

Fix the deck ring and the sealing 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 instruction regarding screw tightening 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.
