5. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING 

The GMP Overblowing Junction Box requires very little mainte-

nance or servicing.  

 

1. 

Always ensure that the unit is clean and free from debris, 

sludge, dirt, water and lubricant. 

 

2. 

Ensure that all the retaining screws and lower clamp collet 

screw threads are clean and free from debris, sludge, dirt, water 

and lubricant. 

 

3. 

Always ensure that all cord seals are in good condition and re-

place any damaged or worn seals. The cord seals should be cut to 

length and glued into the grooves in the  junction box housing  

upper and lower halves. 

 

4. 

Always ensure that the cable seals are in good condition and 

replace if damaged or worn. For best sealing results the cable seal 

should be the smallest size available, for example, for a 16 mm 

dia. cable select a cable seal in the range 14-16 mm as opposed 

to 16-18 mm diameter. 

 

5. 

Always ensure that the retaining washers on the innerduct 

clamps and lid retaining cap screws are in good condition, they 

must prevent the screws from being withdrawn.  

 

6. 

Always check that the screws  are securely tightened. 

 

7. 

The lid and base should be stored as an assembled unit to en-

sure that parts aren't lost.
