Enclosure gaskets to fit frame edges

Enclosure gaskets to fit frame edges ex-stock and Online from FDB Panel Fittings

These clip-on profiles now available from the FDB Online store combine the characteristics of edge protection profiles and sealing profiles. Their clip-on design enables quick and convenient installation to provide effective enclosure sealing when fitted to a flange edge. This gives rise to the description P type gasket and it is the hollow P section that allows a door clamping range from 0.8mm to 6.00mm. This is especially useful when paired with compression latches which typically provide a 6mm clamping range. In these situations, the hollow section can be punched to release internal pressure as the “P” part is compressed.

Combination clip-on sealing profiles extend the properties of edge protection to include sealing by featuring, a sealing part of the profile made of sponge rubber which is then bonded by vulcanisation during the extrusion process to a soft rubber with a steel clip-on core. 

FDB Panel Fittings combination profiles consist of PVC with closed cell sponge rubber profiles. These sponge rubber elements are made of high-quality synthetic rubber and are characterised by a high age resistance and great elasticity. The profiles made of NBR are oil-resistant and tested according to UL standards.
