ABSTRACT:
A racetrack grommet of resilient material for use in providing a seal between two flanged closure members has first and second spaced sides thereon adapted to be positioned between the flanges, and transverse end sections having insert receiving members having bores therein. Insert members are configured to fit within the bores in end to end butting relationship to provide a seal between a cable entering or leaving the assembled closure and the insert receiving members which, in turn, provide seals for end openings in the assembled closure. The bores in the insert receiving members have holding and sealing means therein and each insert has mating means thereon for mating with the holding means to provide a seal between each of the insert members and the insert receiving member. One or more port plugs seal the unused bores in the insert receiving members. Each insert has a split thereon to facilitate insertion of a cable within the insert, and each insert receiving member has a split therein for facilitating insertion of an insert therein.
