A seal device for providing a weather seal between an elongated member such as a pipe, and a surface, such as a roof of a building, through which the pipe extends. The seal device has an apertured base member of resilient material with one end in contact with the roof and the opposite end with an aperture through which the pipe extends. The base member has a sleeve of resilient material integral and projecting from one surface thereof and includes the aperture on the opposite end of the sleeve. A rib formed integral with the sleeve and base member projecting outwardly from the external surface thereof. The rib extends generally down the length of the sleeve and across the base member whereby in use the wall of the sleeve and base member may be slit adjacent to and for the full length of the rib to permit opening of the sleeve and base member to allow fitting around the pipe. The rib has clamp means for holding it closed.
A seal device for providing a weather seal between an elongate member and a cladding sheet through which the elongate member extends, the seal device comprising an apertured base member of resilient deformable material to be located in use in superimposed relation to the sheet with the elongate member extending through the aperture, a sleeve of resilient deformable material integral with the base member and projecting from one side thereof, the sleeve member encompassing said aperture in the base member so that in use the elongate member also extends through the sleeve member, a rib formed integral with the sleeve and base member projecting outwardly from the external surface thereof, said rib extending generally down the length of the sleeve and across the base member to the outer edge thereof, whereby in use the wall of the sleeve and base member is slit adjacent to and for the full length of the rib to permit opening of the sleeve and base member for fitment about the elongated member, and clamp means secured to the sleeve and to the base member extending parallel to and for the length of the rib so the slit can be made between the rib and the clamp means, the clamp means comprises a series of clips interconnected in a strip form, the interconnection between the clips being flexible at least in the longitudinal direction, each clip having a portion to receive and embrace the rib and is non-resiliently deformable to grip the rib to thereby sealably close the slit to secure the sleeve and base member around the elongated member, wherein the sleeve and base member are molded integral in a generally planar form of segmental shape, having two substantially radial edges, wherein each of said clips has a lateral extension at one side forming a finger secured to said sleeve and said base flange to effect securement of said clamp strip thereto, said rib extending along one said radial edge and the clamp means extending along the other said radial edge, said sleeve having an upper edge portion having a plurality of radially-spaced circumferential guide ridges for ease of cutting the edge portion to tightly fit the elongate member.
A seal device for providing a weather seal between an elongate member and a cladding of a building sheet through which the elongate member extends, the seal device comprising an apertured base member of manually deformable resilient material to be located in use in superimposed relation to the sheet with the elongate member extending through the aperture, a sleeve of manually deformable resilient material integral with the base member and projecting from one side thereof, the sleeve member encompassing said aperture in the base member so that in use the elongate member also extends through the sleeve member, a rib formed integral with the sleeve and base member projecting outwardly from the external surface thereof, said rib extending generally down the length of the sleeve and across the base member to the outer edge thereof, whereby in use upon splitting the wall of the sleeve and base members adjacent to and for the full length of the rib permits opening of the sleeve and base member for fitment about the elongate member, and clamp means secured integrally to the sleeve and to the base member and extending parallel to and for the length of the rib so that upon splitting the slit is made between the rib and the clamp means, the clamp means comprises a series of clips interconnected in a strip form, the interconnection between the clips being flexible at least in the longitudinal direction, each clip having a portion to receive and embrace the rib and is non-resiliently deformable to grip the rib and thereby by the deformation alone sealably close the slit to secure the sleeve and base member around the elongate member, wherein each of said clips has a lateral extension at one side forming a finger secured to said sleeve and said base flange to effect securement of said clamp strip thereto, said rib having a neck portion for conforming the rib to the clamp means.
