gjennomføringsring

A gjennomføringsring, often translated as a "penetration ring" or "bushing," is a component used in various engineering and construction applications. Its primary function is to provide a sealed and protected passage for cables, pipes, or other conduits through a wall, floor, or structure. This helps to maintain the integrity of the barrier, preventing the ingress of water, dust, or other contaminants, and also providing structural support.

Gjennomføringsringer are typically made from materials like rubber, plastic, or metal, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions. They are designed to fit snugly around the penetrating element and the opening in the structure, creating a watertight and airtight seal. Different types of gjennomføringsringer exist, varying in size, shape, and sealing mechanisms to accommodate different diameters of conduits and types of structures.

In plumbing, they are used where pipes pass through walls to prevent leaks. In electrical installations, they safeguard cables from damage and maintain fire ratings of walls. The precise design and material selection for a gjennomføringsring are crucial for ensuring its effectiveness and longevity in its intended use. They are an essential, though often unseen, component in ensuring the safety and functionality of many built environments.
