FAQs
TS 8802.160 is designed for TS and TP enclosure families and supports center cable entry when top-mounted on gland plates. It also accommodates VX SE variants, ensuring a unified sealing solution across the TS/TP ecosystem. This compatibility helps standardize components across projects and reduces the risk of interface gaps.
The clamp strip uses PU foam in a 30 x 25 mm cross-section to form a tight, uniform seal around entering cables. This minimizes gaps where dust and moisture could penetrate, improving ingress protection. The foam compresses evenly, allowing for consistent sealing performance even with cables of identical cross-section.
IP 55 protection is achieved when TS 8802.160 is installed correctly within the gland plate area, with the plug-in sections fully engaged. Ensure the enclosure is assembled per Rittal guidelines and that no gaps exist between components. For larger widths, remember that two pieces are sufficient for one base opening up to 800 mm, aiding proper fitment.
Yes. The design emphasizes sealing efficiency for cables with identical cross-sections, providing predictable compression and consistent protection across the entry area. This is especially beneficial in control panels with standardized bundles, reducing variation in sealing performance and simplifying maintenance.
The kit ships as packs of four pieces, with a weight per pack of about 0.618 kg. It includes plug-in sections and the PU foam clamp strip. The product is listed under EAN 4028177556829 and customs tariff number 73269098, with ETIM EC000211 and ECLASS 27142421 classifications to aid cataloging and purchasing.
