Embodiment of the Invention
In figure 1 , reference numeral 10 denotes an electrical cable sleeve seal generally and according to one aspect of the invention. The sleeve seal has a round cap 12 shaped and dimensioned to snugly cover an open end 14 of an electrical cable sleeve 16. The cap 12 is manufactured from a petro-chemically resistant material and has six holes, of which three are visible and indicated by numerals 18, 20 and 22). The holes are for receiving electrical cables (including data cables) of which three are shown as 24, 26 and 28.
In this embodiment of the invention, the holes 18, 20 and 22 are threaded to receive cable glands 30, 32 and 34 respectively. The cap 12 has an inside diameter of 110mm, the five holes being concentrically spaced (18, 22) for receiving electrical cables 24 and 28 about a sixth hole 20 in the centre of the cap 12, the hole 32 for receiving a cable 26 which is an earth cable. Further, in this embodiment, the holes 18 and 22 have a diameter of 25mm, whereas the centre hole 20 has a diameter of 16mm.
When assembled, the glands 30, 32 and 34 are screwed into holes 18, 20 and 22 respectively. In use, the open-ended cable sleeve 16 is installed into an entry boot 42 of a wall 44 of any one or more of a manhole, forecourt and tank at a petrol station (not shown here). The electrical cables 24, 26 and 28 are drawn through holes 18, 20 and 22 and also through the glands 30, 32 and 34, whereafter the glands are tightened by nuts 36, 38 and 40 and the cap 12 installed over the open end 14 of the cable sleeve 16 to create a fluid-impervious seal between the exposed cables 24, 26 and 28 and the interior of the sleeve 16.
Referring now to figure 2, reference numeral 50 generally denotes an electrical cable sleeve seal installation in accordance with another aspect of the invention, the installation including the electrical cable sleeve seal 10 of figure 1. The cap 12 of the sleeve seal 10 can clearly be seen, along with the glands 30, 32 and 34 screwed into the holes 18, 20 and 22. The installation further includes cables 24, 26 and 28 ducted in the cable sleeve 16, with the cap 12 of the seal 10 being installed over the open end of the cable sleeve 16 such that the electrical cables 24, 26 and 28 are drawn through the glands 30, 32 and 34 and corresponding holes 18, 20 and 22 of the cap 12 (not visible in this figure). In this embodiment of the installation, the cable sleeve 16 is a ribbed sleeve and an annular seal (as will become more apparent in figure 3) in the form of an o-ring is seated between an outer wall 52 of the ribbed sleeve 16 and an inner wall of the cap 12. In this embodiment of the invention, the ribbed sleeve 16 is inserted into the entry boot 42 of the wall 44 of a gas break manhole at a petrol station such that the sleeve 16 leads, for example, from a petrol station building (not shown here) to an interior of the gas break manhole wherein the cables, of which only three are shown by 24, 26 and 28, are exposed.
Referring now to figure 3, reference numeral 60 designates a method of sealing an electrical cable sleeve. The holes (of which 18, 22 and 20) of the cap 12 and the glands 30, 32 and 34 of the electrical cable sleeve seal of figure 1 are clearly visible. The method 60 includes the steps of: taking the cap 12 of the electrical cable sleeve seal 10 of figure 1 ; drawing electrical cables (of which three are again given by 24, 26 and 28) through the holes 18, 20 and 22 of the cap 12; and installing the cable sleeve seal over the open end 14 of the ribbed cable sleeve 16. After drawing the electrical cables through the holes, the cables 24, 26 and 28 are drawn through the glands 30, 32 and 34. The glands are then attached to the cap 12 by screwing them into their corresponding holes 18, 20 and 22, whereafter the glands are secured by locking nuts (of which one is denoted as 66).
Prior to installing the cable sleeve seal 10 on the open end 14 of the sleeve 16, an annular seal in the form of the o-ring 62 is located in a circumferential recess 64 of the ribbed cable sleeve 16 and the open end 14 filled with expandable sealant in the form of a foam sealant thereby ensuring that the cables are secured within the sleeve after installing of the cap 12 over the end 14.
Naturally, in a new installation of a sleeve into a wall of a forecourt, manhole or tank of a petrol station, an entry boot 68 would first be installed in the wall (not shown) whereafter the cable sleeve 16 would be fixed in the entry boot.
Advantageously, an electrical cable sleeve seal as hereinbefore described may simply and cost-efficiently be used at new cable sleeve installations in the walls of manholes, tanks and forecourts of petrol stations and for retro-fitment to existing cable sleeve installations alike.
