Push-button reset circuit breaker boot - Transparent

The BLUE SEA 4135-BSS clear circuit breaker boot is designed to protect push-button reset circuit breakers in marine environments. It shields the reset mechanism from water, salt spray, dust, and UV rays, thereby extending the lifespan and reliability of your electrical equipment.

The transparent design of the 4135-BSS boot allows for quick visual inspection of the circuit breaker's condition without disassembly. This facilitates rapid diagnostics and preventive maintenance of electrical systems while providing physical protection against the elements.

No, this boot is specifically sized for push-button reset circuit breakers from BLUE SEA Systems. It ensures optimal compatibility and waterproofing with these models.

Installing the boot typically involves sliding it over the circuit breaker’s reset button and securing it. For panel-mounted breakers, the boot is often positioned before tightening the breaker’s mounting nut, ensuring secure fit and effective protection. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before handling.

The 4135-BSS boot protects the circuit breaker reset mechanism against water (spray and splashes), salt moisture, dust, and ultraviolet (UV) rays. These protections are essential for electrical equipment used in marine environments.

Yes, the BLUE SEA 4135-BSS transparent boot is designed to resist UV rays, which is crucial for equipment exposed to sunlight in a marine environment. This helps prevent material degradation and maintains its clarity and protective effectiveness over time.

No, the BLUE SEA 4135-BSS boot is specifically designed for push-button reset circuit breakers. Its shape and dimensions are not suitable for lever or rocker circuit breakers.

Installing the boot typically does not require specific tools beyond those that may be needed for the initial circuit breaker assembly (such as a wrench for the mounting nut). The boot simply slides onto the button and is held in place by the circuit breaker's design and mounting.

No, the 4135-BSS boot is designed to protect against splashes, water spray, and moisture. It is not intended to make the circuit breaker watertight in case of total immersion.

Yes, by covering the reset button, the boot helps prevent accidental activations or deactivations caused by unintended contact or minor impacts, while still allowing intentional manipulation.

For optimal waterproofing, ensure the boot is correctly positioned over the button and that the circuit breaker is properly installed and tightened, if applicable, so that the boot forms an effective seal with the panel or circuit breaker body. The boot is designed to fit precisely on BLUE SEA compatible circuit breakers.

Although the boot is designed to resist UV and marine conditions, prolonged and extreme exposure may, over time, slightly alter the transparency of any plastic material. However, its design is optimized to minimize this phenomenon and maintain visibility for as long as possible.

No. While Klixon series circuit breakers may offer similar protections, the BLUE SEA 4135-BSS boot is specifically sized for BLUE SEA Systems push-button models, ensuring optimal compatibility and waterproofing with those units.

The boot is designed to be flexible and should not significantly affect the operation or tactile feel of the reset button. It allows normal pressure to activate or reset the circuit breaker while providing protection.

Yes, the boot is designed to be removable if necessary, for example for circuit breaker maintenance or replacement. It is not permanently fixed but stays securely in place once installed correctly.

Yes, the boot is designed for marine environments, including resistance to freshwater and saline moisture. Its composition effectively protects against the corrosive effects of salt.

No, the BLUE SEA 4135-BSS circuit breaker bundle is a separate protection accessory. The push-button reset circuit breaker is not included with the bundle.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to cut power to the relevant circuit before installing or removing the breaker boot. This is an essential safety measure when working on any electrical components.
