Abstract
A sealing arrangement relating to cable and pipe lead-throughs that extend through a wall. The arrangement includes a frame and one or more modules made from a compressible material and including an axially-extending channel through which a cable or a pipe is adapted to pass in sealing abutment with respective module channels. The frame includes one or more modules that are mounted within and sealed relative to the frame, and also includes a first part and a second part, each provided with a respective opening, intended to be fitted on both sides of a wall in which an opening has been formed. A third frame part in the form of a body formed from a compressible material, such as rubber, and having an opening that has generally the same size as the openings in the respective first and second frame parts, is positioned between the first frame and second frame parts, wherein the third frame part accommodates the modules. The first and second frame parts can be drawn toward each other and the third frame part has a size such that it will be compressed as the first and second frame parts are drawn together to exert a sealing pressure force on the modules and on the first frame part and th…
