FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these anti-tamper seals?
The primary purpose is to provide a visual indication that safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers or first aid kits, has been accessed or tampered with. They help maintain accountability and ensure equipment readiness.
How long are the Vigil Anti-Tamper Seals?
Each seal is 280mm long.
Can these seals be reused?
No, these seals are designed for single use. Once broken, they cannot be resealed and must be replaced.
What does 'low breaking strain' mean for these seals?
It means the seals are designed to snap apart easily when the equipment's pin is pulled, ensuring quick access in an emergency situation without requiring tools.
Are these seals suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be used outdoors, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions might affect the material over time. For highly exposed environments, check the seals regularly.
How many seals are in a pack?
Each bulk pack contains 500 anti-tamper seals.
Can I use these seals on any type of safety equipment?
They are generally compatible with most fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and spill kits that utilize a pull pin and handle system. The 280mm length offers good versatility.
Troubleshooting
Seal breaks too easily during normal handling or transport.
Ensure the seal is properly threaded and pulled snug, not overtightened. If persistent, check for defects in the seal batch. Store seals appropriately to avoid pre-exposure to stress.
Seal is difficult to break in an emergency.
Verify that the seal is correctly installed through the pin and handle. Ensure no external factors are binding the pin or handle. The seal is designed for low breaking strain, so if it's excessively difficult, re-examine the installation.
Seal does not provide a clear indication of tampering.
Ensure the seal is properly seated. If the seal has broken without apparent cause, it may indicate a faulty seal or unusual environmental stress. For critical applications, consider using brighter colored seals for higher visibility.
