We've made some subtle changes to our range of car seal devices...(for those of you seeking clarification on car sealed valves, refer to our previous blog "What does car seal open, car seal closed mean?").
Until now, the default cable size for our car seals was length 1,000mm (about 39") x 3.5mm cable diameter (1/8").
After getting feedback from the field we found that a 2.5mm diameter cable (3/32") was more than adequate for sealing valves. The residual strength in the multi-strand cable was fine for sealing valves.
Therefore, with immediate effect, all stock seals are now 1000mm long x 2.5mm diameter. There is a commercial aspect to this change of spec' too. By making this change, there's about 20% reduction in unit weight. This means we can save money in shipping costs. Which of course, we pass on to you, our customer.
By the way, if you're thinking 1000mm (39") is way too long for my requirements, you can cut off the surplus cable once it's deployed on the valve. But be sure not to trim the cable before you deploy the seal, because the individual cable strands will fray and you wont be able to pass the cable into the seal head.
Car Seals are used for sealing open or closed valves in long term isolations. Critical valves, such as sprinkler system water supply and relief valve block valves may be sealed closed to prevent inadvertent operation or tampering.
