Abstract
A peripheral sealing gland is configured to form a seal between an elongate member and a substantially flat surface having an aperture into which the elongate member extends. The sealing gland includes an at least partially frustoconical shaped skirt through which the elongate member is to pass and defining an upper seal structured to deform about and form a first seal to a periphery of the elongate member. The sealing gland includes a flange depending from a lower periphery of the skirt and having an endless lip seal, and a ring configured to bear on the flange so as to apply a pressure to the endless lip seal to form a second seal against the flat surface. The sealing gland includes a resealable split extending from the upper seal to a peripheral edge of the flange, and a compression clamp configured to close the resealable split, forming the first seal.
