ABSTRACT:
A seal for a bar mounted within a molded tub and surround. The seal includes a flexible flange and a tubular body extending therefrom. The seal provides a plurality of sealing surfaces which operate to engage the bar and aperture such that an effective redundant waterproof seal is provided. The flexible flange is generally perpendicular to the tubular body and is sized to cover any chips or cracks which may exist about the aperture and to accommodate a non-parallel, curved, and/or angled wall portion.
