BESTgaket Rope Seals Stop Y-Block Leaks - Rope Tricks
|
There are two types of side-seals on the market: black with a steel expansion pin, and orange seals that do not use the pin. Either work well, but BESTgasket is in the process of changing over from the orange style to the black style with pin, based upon customer preference, as the orange can be a bit trickier to install. For installation of either style, it is helpful to slightly chamfer the block edge where the block meets up with the two sides of the seal retainer. This keeps sides from catching on the edge of the block. Apply a thin coat of sealant to the seal retainer to block mating surfaces, but keep the sealant off of rope ends. View Related Article
