Suitable for cables between 4.8mm and 12mm diameter, each grommet covers a 145mm x 145mm area. Supplied in a pack of 15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Problem With Cable Penetrations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAn airtightness membrane is only as good as its weakest point. Overlaps and edges can be taped. Junctions with structure can be sealed with Orcon F. But every cable, pipe, or conduit that passes through the membrane represents a potential air leakage point — and on a typical timber frame or high-performance build, there can be dozens of them. Electrical cables passing through ceilings and walls, data cables, speaker cables, lighting circuits — each one needs to be individually sealed if the airtight layer is to be continuous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFoam and tape workarounds are unreliable at these points. The Kaflex range is the engineered solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Kaflex Mono Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEach Kaflex Mono grommet consists of two components permanently bonded together: a square patch of Tescon Vana airtightness tape (the same water-resistant solid acrylic adhesive tape used throughout the Proclima system), and a pre-cut EPDM rubber grommet moulded into its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe EPDM rubber has a pre-formed hole sized slightly smaller than the cable it's designed to seal. When the cable is pushed through, the rubber stretches to grip the outer surface of the cable tightly — forming an airtight mechanical seal around the cable without any adhesive, foam, or secondary sealing required. The Tescon Vana backing then bonds the entire grommet patch flat to the membrane surface, sealing the grommet itself to the airtightness layer in the same way tape seals a membrane overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe result is a permanently airtight cable penetration that takes seconds to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCables Can Still Be Repositioned\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOne of the most practical features of the Kaflex system is that cables can continue to be pushed or pulled through the grommet after it has been installed and the adhesive has set. The EPDM rubber grips the cable tightly enough to maintain an airtight seal, but flexibly enough that the cable can slide through it. This means Kaflex can be installed early in the build programme — before final cable lengths are determined — without trapping the cable at a fixed position. Service engineers can make adjustments later without compromising the membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior and Exterior Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKaflex Mono is rated for both internal and external applications. Used internally on Intello Plus or DA membranes for electrical cable penetrations through walls, ceilings, and floors. Used externally on Solitex Plus and other breather membranes where cables or conduits penetrate the external airtight or windtight layer. Can be left exposed externally for up to 6 months before the final cladding or roofing is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Installation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKaflex grommets must be fitted before cabling is fully terminated. At least one free end of the cable must be accessible to thread through the grommet — the grommet cannot be cut or split to fit around a completed cable run, as this would compromise the EPDM seal. For cables larger than 12mm diameter, or for pipe penetrations, use the Proclima Roflex range instead. Do not overstretch the EPDM beyond its rated maximum diameter — doing so will compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eClean the membrane surface and ensure it is free from dust and moisture at the application point. Peel the release paper from the Tescon Vana backing. Thread the cable end through the EPDM grommet hole, stretching it carefully over the cable. Position the grommet patch centrally over the membrane penetration point, press flat, and run a Pressfix seam roller around the perimeter to ensure full tape adhesion to the membrane. For additional security on external applications or on rough substrates, seal the outer perimeter of the Tescon Vana patch with a further strip of Tescon Vana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGrommet type: Single cable (Mono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCable diameter range: 4.8–12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePatch dimensions: 145mm x 145mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGrommet material: EPDM rubber — non-ageing, permanently elastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAdhesive backing: Tescon Vana (water-resistant solid acrylic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUV and weather exposure: up to 6 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eApplication: Interior and exterior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePack quantity: 15 grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompliant with DIN 4108-7, SIA 180 and RE 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eISO 16000 hazardous substance evaluation — A+ rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKaflex Duo — twin-hole grommet for two cables (4.8–12mm), pack of 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKaflex Multi — large format grommet for up to 16 cables, supplied with hole punch and template\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRoflex Solido — pipe grommet range for larger diameter pipes (50mm to 220mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e10-year warranty when installed correctly as part of the complete Proclima system. 6-year warranty when used alongside non-Proclima products.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trade Prices Online","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57098332537212,"sku":"PHPC276","price":39.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0381\/0535\/0275\/files\/p_KAFLEX-mono-crop.webp?v=1782375302","url":"https:\/\/tradepricesonline.co.uk\/products\/pro-clima-kalfex-mono-cable-grommet-single-4-8-12mm-145mm-x-145mm-pack-16","provider":"Trade Prices Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
