Bulkhead pass-through for connector up to Ø40 mm, 12-15 mm cable - black composite

This Scanstrut DS40-P-BLK deck gland is designed to accommodate connectors up to 40 mm in diameter.

This deck gland is specifically designed for cables with a diameter between 12 and 15 mm.

The Scanstrut DS40-P-BLK deck gland is made from black composite, providing good resistance in marine environments while remaining lightweight.

For installing this bridge-mounted device, you will need the following tools:

A Pozidriv screwdriver
Sealing silicone
A 40 mm hole saw
A 2.5 mm or 3 mm drill bit (depending on the hardness of your mounting surface)

The DS40-P-BLK is the black composite (plastic) version, which is a lightweight and economical alternative. The DS40-S, on the other hand, is the version made of stainless steel, offering different robustness and finish.

The main difference lies in their capacity and drilling size. The DS40 is designed for connectors up to Ø40 mm and cables from 12-15 mm, requiring a Ø40 mm hole. The DS30 is suitable for cables from 9-14 mm and requires a Ø30 mm hole.

Four No. 6X16 self-tapping screws are included in the kit for mounting the bridge to your bracket.

Yes, applying silicone sealant is essential to ensure a watertight seal around the drilled hole and under the deck plate, protecting the interior of your boat from water.

The drill bit diameter for pilot holes depends on the material of your support:

For soft materials (e.g., plywood): use a 2.5 mm (3/32 in) drill bit. For hard materials (e.g., fiberglass, acrylic, hardwoods): use a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit.

Yes, the Scanstrut DS40-P-BLK is a watertight deck gland, specifically designed to provide reliable waterproofing for cable penetrations on boat decks.

Yes, this deck gland is designed for vertical installation, making it ideal for cable runs through decks or vertical bulkheads on your vessel.

The M4X10 black bolt is a key component for assembling the deck pass-through, allowing the hull to be securely fastened to the base, ensuring the overall cohesion of the assembly.

Yes, the Scanstrut DS40-P-BLK is a marine product specifically designed to withstand the demanding conditions of marine environments, thanks to its black composite construction.

To ensure optimal watertightness, it is essential to apply marine-grade silicone around the drilled hole and under the deck gland base before securing it with the supplied screws. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before application.

Yes, the Scanstrut DS40-P-BLK deck cable gland is supplied with detailed installation instructions to guide you step-by-step through the mounting process.

This deck gland is optimized for cables with a diameter of 12 to 15 mm. For cables with a smaller diameter, a different Scanstrut model such as the DS30 (designed for 9–14 mm cables) would be more appropriate to ensure optimal sealing and compatibility.
