Abstract

A sealing gland for sealing between an elongate member and a surface through which the member extends, the gland comprising a sealing body having an inner membrane for sealing about the elongate member and an outer peripheral region for sealing against the surface. The inner membrane has one or more cut guides on an underside of the membrane arranged to locate adjacent the surface in use. Each cut guide represents a known elongate member option and facilitates the formation of an aperture through the membrane for suitably receiving the associated elongate member option there through in use. A compression ring is also provided to couple the surface over the sealing body to compress the sealing body in use and form an effective seal.
