Abstract

A sealing device for installation between a partition and at least one cable or conduit passing through a hole in the partition, includes two half-shells together forming a cylindrical body which completely surrounds the cable or conduit and is fixed to the partition. The device also includes a sealing joint and sealant to fill the space between the cable or conduit and the cylindrical body and to immobilize them relative to each other. The sealing means includes at least one sealing gasket of a flowable elastomeric material disposed about the cable or conduit, a radial gripping device in the form of a resiliently deformable split ring, which is disposed about the sealing gasket in the cylindrical body. The sealing gasket includes a skirt which is radially retractable in a substantially uniform manner about its entire circumference. The sealant also includes an axial gripping device which interacts with the cylindrical body and the skirt so that the skirt retracts so as to compress and cause the sealing gasket to flow and fill the space between the cable or conduit and the cylindrical body.
