Hubbell OLK1VG 1/2 Inch Fiber Gasket

Product Description

The HUBBELL OLK1VG is a 1/2 inch fiber gasket designed to create a secure, leak-resistant seal at threaded conduit and fitting connections. Fiber gaskets of this type compress under torque to fill minor surface irregularities, preventing moisture ingress and maintaining connection integrity. This gasket is a small but essential component in electrical enclosure and conduit system assemblies, typically installed by licensed electricians during rough-in or fit-out work on commercial and industrial projects.

This gasket is suited for use at 1/2 inch threaded conduit hubs, locknuts, and enclosure knockouts where a watertight or weather-resistant seal is required. It is commonly used in panel board entries, junction box connections, and conduit body installations where maintaining environmental protection ratings at the fitting interface is necessary.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal size fits standard 1/2 inch threaded conduit fittings
• Fiber construction compresses to seal minor surface irregularities at the connection point
• Helps maintain enclosure integrity by preventing moisture ingress at conduit entries
• Compatible with standard locknut and hub installations on electrical enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service gasket for 1/2 inch threaded conduit hub and locknut assemblies in electrical enclosure applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the panel or enclosure fully before servicing any conduit entry point. Place the gasket between the fitting and the enclosure surface before tightening the locknut to the manufacturer-recommended hand-tight-plus method. Avoid overtightening, which can distort or crack the fiber gasket and compromise the seal.
