Conax Technologies’ PL Insulated Lead Wire Feedthrough

Conax Technologies’ Model PL (Power Lead) Feedthroughs seal on insulated lead wire for use in transformers, motors, conduit boxes and pressure/vacuum chambers and as power or instrument feedthroughs. The soft sealant technology seals against gases or liquids and resists element movement under pressure. Immersion length adjustments and easy replacement of elements can be accomplished in the field.

The Conax difference: soft sealant technology

Our PL feedthroughs feature the soft sealant technology pioneered by Conax which, when combined with mechanical compression, results in a secure seal on wires, probes, and electrodes.

While competitive seals that utilize epoxy fillings are easy to install, they’re often unreliable in protecting your environment due to incorrect bonding of the epoxy to the elements or housing. Cracks will develop, and this allows gases or liquids to leak around the elements.

Thanks to our soft sealant technology, Conax fittings maintain constant compression around the elements throughout the life of the seal to minimize risk of gas or liquid leaks.
