The 107VS VM 12 PA closure plug from OBO Bettermann is a specially developed component for secure and tight sealing of installed but not yet used V-TEC cable glands. It is used in electrical installations to protect open openings in cable glands from dust, moisture, and other environmental influences. The product is manufactured in light grey colour, corresponding to RAL 7035, and made of polyamide (PA), a robust plastic known for its high mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

Applications

The closure plug is primarily intended for use in industrial and commercial electrical installations where cable glands remain temporarily open, for example during planning or installation phases. It serves as a temporary shield to maintain the integrity of the installation and minimize the risk of contamination or moisture ingress. Its use is particularly beneficial in areas with demanding environmental conditions, such as production halls, manufacturing technology, or outdoor installations.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The plug ensures a dust- and waterproof seal for the cable gland. It is specifically designed for a 12 mm bore, enabling a precise fit and secure locking. The choice of polyamide (PA) material provides high resistance to mechanical stress and chemical influences, supporting the product’s longevity in demanding environments. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) allows for visual harmonization with other components in the system.

Technology Explained Simply

The function of the closure plug is based on a precise shape fit to the inner side of the V-TEC cable gland. The use of polyamide ensures high elasticity and shape stability, guaranteeing a tight seal. The material properties allow for easy installation and removal without damaging the gland. The RAL 7035 colour standard is widely used in industry and supports uniform visual design of installations.

Compatibility and Accessories

The closure plug is specifically designed for V-TEC cable glands from OBO Bettermann. It is not suitable for other manufacturers or other types of cable glands, as the fit and construction are specifically tailored to the V-TEC system. Use with other products may result in inadequate sealing or damage to the gland. No additional accessories are mentioned in connection with this item.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the plug into the open bore of the cable gland. Due to the precise fit and the elastic properties of polyamide, a self-sealing effect occurs. No additional tools or adhesives are required. Removal is equally simple and is done by pulling the plug out. The installation is tool-free and thus quick and efficient for electricians.

Operational Advantages

Using the closure plug extends the service life of the cable gland by protecting it from contamination and moisture. This reduces the risk of corrosion or malfunctions, especially in humid or dusty environments. The easy handling and reusability of the plug contribute to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the installation. The colour design enables visual inspection and uniform appearance of the installation.
