The application of permanent sealing caps is sealing of micro duct bundle for long-term storage in underground environment. It is of crucial importance to seal micro ducts even for years i.e. at the end of a line. Often used makeshift such as tapes or shrink caps are here unsuitable materials, because they neither tightly can close the micro duct bundle, nor are sustainable.
Our permanent sealing caps foe micro duct bundles with up to 52mm outside diameter prevent the ingress of water and dirt of any kind. Whole bundle of micro ducts is sealed off cost-effectively in one operation. The sealing cap has control pins (patented*) which indicate a correct installation. The integrated sealing compound is distributed in the individual micro ducts when you turn on the cap onto the bundle.
Depending on the version, the sealing cap suits for micro duct bundles with or without a central micro duct. For fixation of sealing cap on bundle, either the central micro duct or a micro duct in the middle of the bundle is used. For easy installation the sealing cap has a central thorn with self-tapping thread.
If accidentally one micro tube comes under pressure by trying to yet in a cable, the pressure can escape at the cap. The micro tube gets sealed off again by the self-healing effect of the sealing compound.
If network construction should be continued further at a later date, the permanent sealing cap will be removed like described in the installation instruction.
Permanent sealing caps from Elitex are available for most common micro duct bundles with or without central duct. The product has been proven thousand and on times for safe sealing and fast application.

The application of temporary sealing caps is for short-term storage during installation and construction of micro duct bundle above ground. It is of crucial importance to seal open end of micro ducts during any phase of installation and storage. Often used makeshift such as tapes or shrink caps are here unsuitable materials, because they neither tightly can close the micro duct bundle, nor are sustainable.
Our temporary sealing caps foe micro duct bundles with up to 52mm outside diameter prevent the ingress of water and dirt of any kind. Whole bundle of micro ducts is sealed off cost-effectively in one operation. The sealing cap retains its full functionality for up to 5-times reuse, if it was properly cleaned and installed.
Depending on the version, the sealing caps suit for micro duct bundles with or without a central micro duct. For fixation of sealing cap on bundle either the central micro duct or a micro duct in the middle of the bundle is used. For easy installation the sealing cap has a central thorn with self-tapping thread. For easy identification of size, the sealing caps are color coded. The temporary sealing caps are not qualified for long term underground storage. For this application permanent sealing caps are available.
If network construction should be continued further at a later date, the temporary sealing cap will be removed by just turning it off like a screw
