Application
The WGT fits independent from pipe manufacturer as a sealing
element for all listed sizes. The WGT seal off water and gas in
microducts with various cable diameters and works also like a
blind plug. Beside excellent sealing performance the WGT also has
good strain relief for cable and microduct. With the optional PowerClip
the strain relief improve by clamping the strength members like
aramid yarn. At the cable side the WGT has an integrated shape for bend
protection. Please also refer to the technical data sheets for the products.
Scope of delivery
Every WGT housing comes with a sealing gasket
according to the selected cable size. The sealing
gasket has two functions. It works as a blind plug for
empty microducts and as a seal for the cable.
Sealing gaskets
Various sealing gaskets for different microducts and applicable cable diameters
are available. Please refer to the table with available sizes on last page.
Customer specific gaskets are available on request.
PowerClip
If fixation of strain relief elements
of the cable is required, the PowerClip
is the right choice.
Tools
For every size of WGT a disassembly clip is available.
For most sizes also a professional installation tool is
available. The tool simplifies assembly and disassembly
of the WGT especially if the cable is already in place.
The WGT can be installed without using the tool but
for disassembly, at least for WGT size 5mm, 7mm and
thin cables, the use of the PullClip
is strongly recommended.

1. Important instructions
The manual is for the full version of WGT, separated into
the parts assembly with and without tools.
- Before starting installation, check if the end of the
microduct is clean from any kind of dirt pollution and
lubricants. Also check carefully inside of microduct on
such contamination, to avoid application problems later.
- The end of a microduct need a straight, vertical, clean
cut with a tool recommended by duct manufacture.
- Due to tolerances of the outside diameter of the
microduct, different force may appear for installing the
WGT body onto the duct.
1.1 Mounting the WGT without tools on an empty
microduct
The WGT with sealing gasket can be used as sealing blind
plug for empty microducts.
1.2 Select the appropriate size of WGT according to
the diameter of microduct and size of sealing gasket to
fit the cable diameter which will be installed later
1.3 Insert sealing gasket with cone side into the
microduct, blind plug pointing towards the WGT.
1.4 Slide WGT over the blind plug and push it onto
the microduct
1.5 Push WGT on the microduct until the edge of
the duct is at least flush with the ring marking on WGT
body (arrows). This ensures tightness of WGT.
Note: To improve tightness and tensile strength on
microduct, rotate WGT ¼ turn clockwise.

2. Disassembly of WGT without tools for an
empty microduct
2.1 Release WGT by turning it counterclockwise.
Remove seal and keep it for later use.
3. Installation of WGT without tools for
microduct with cable
3.1 Before installation remove blind plug from
sealing gasket. Hold blind plug with one hand and seal
cone with other hand, turn against each other and rip off
blind plug. The blind plug is no longer required.
3.2 Slide sealing gasket with cone side towards microduct
onto the cable till it stops in the microduct. Slide WGT
body on cable afterwards.
Note: To facilitate seal installation, cut sealing gasket in
longitudinal direction. Place seal around cable and slide
it till stop into the microduct.
3.3 Push WGT on the microduct.
3.4 Push WGT on the microduct until the edge of
the duct is at least flush with the ring marking on WGT
body (arrows). This ensures the tightness.

4
Note: To improve tightness and tensile strength on
microduct, rotate WGT ¼ turn clockwise.
3.5 Disassembly of WGT without tools for a
microduct with cable
3.6 Release WGT by turning counterclockwise but hold
cable during procedure.
If sealing gasket is clean and in good condition it may be
used again.
Note: If WGT 5/7mm and thin cables are used, usage of
dismounting tool is strongly recommended.
4. Installation of WGT with assembly pliers for
microduct with cable
Installation and mainly disassembly is much faster and
gentle for the cable.
Note: Always press release lever during installation or
disassembly.
4.1 Install WGT and sealing gasket till chapter 3.2.
but don’t push WGT body onto microduct!
4.2 Open assembly pliers by pushing opening lever.
4.3 Put WGT into assembly pliers and close it. Cable
has to point out top side of tool microduct to bottom
side. If it doesn’t close perfect, WGT was inserted faulty.
4.4 Press release lever and push WGT onto
microduct.
WGT must be in position like described in point 3.4

5
5. Disassembly of WGT with tools for a microduct
with cable
5.1 Put WGT into assembly pliers and close it. Cable
has to point out top side of tool, microduct has to point
out to bottom side. If it doesn’t close perfect, WGT was
inserted faulty.
5.2 Press release lever and remove the WGT from
the micro tube. Open the assembly tool and remove the
WGT. If sealing gasket is clean and in good condition it
may be used again.
5.3 Disassembly of WGT with PullClip for a
microduct with cable
5.4 Slide PullClip on the microduct behind WGT. The
cone-shaped notch must point towards WGT.
5.5 Place one finger left and another finger on right
side under the PullClip, fix top side of WGT with your
thumb and pull off WGT from micro tube.
Note: If sealing gasket is clean and in good condition it
may be used again.
7. . Installation of WGT with PowerClip to clamp strain
relief (aramid) of cable
If fixation of strain relief elements of the cable is
required, PowerClip has to be installed.

6
7.1 Install sealing gasket like in capture 3 to 3.3. To
facilitate mounting of WGT, untie strength members
(aramid yarn) after installation of WGT.
7.2 Strip cable jacket according to specification of
cable manufacturer. After installing of WGT, edge of
cable jacket must be flush with edge of WGT body. Lines
in picture shows length of cable jacket to be cut. Leave at
least 25 cm of aramid yarn for PowerClip installation.
7.3 Install WGT with or without tool like described
in the previous chapters.
Push WGT on the microduct until the edge of the duct is
at least flush with the ring marking on WGT body
(arrows). This ensures the tightness.
Note: To improve tightness and tensile strength on
microduct, rotate WGT ¼ turn clockwise.
Pull aramid yarn tight and slightly twist or twirl it.
Note: To improve tightness and tensile strength on
microduct, rotate WGT ¼ turn clockwise.
Pull aramid yarn tight and slightly twist or twirl it.
7.4 Mount PowerClip onto the WGT in a way all 3
tabs inside of the clip fit into the holes of the WGT body.
7.5 Wrap aramid yarn in a figure 8 shape under the
flaps of the PowerClip. Pull aramid yarn tight, twist and
pull into direction towards microduct and beneath flap
of PowerClip.

7
7.6 Pull aramid yarn diagonally, up to the side of the
cable. Then slide it beneath flap of PowerClip back into
direction of the micro tube.
7.7 Again pull aramid yarn diagonally, upwards
beneath PowerClip like described before.
7.8 Repeat this figure 8 shape wrap up to 6 times.
If possible, remain enough length of aramid yarn to
enable a retry of installation.
8. Installation LabelClip
The LabelClip is available for microducts with outer
diameters of 7/10/12/14/16/20mm (https://www.elitex-
