This invention relates to a seal system for sealing between an elongate element such as a cable and a surface or substrate around an aperture in the surface through which the elongate element passes. The seal system comprises a seal body to surround the aperture and seal against the surface or substrate around the aperture. The seal body comprises at least one passage for penetration of the elongate element through the seal body at a side of the seal body. The at least one passage providing for a seal to the elongate element. Also provided is a fixing component adapted to be attached over at least part of the seal body and/or through the seal body to seal with the surface or substrate.

Seal system

An electrical connector includes an electrical connector body and a collar circumferentially surrounding an external surface of the electrical connector. The collar includes a hollow collar body that receives at least a portion of the electrical connector body, the collar body having a cable end and a free end. One or more fingers extend from the free end of the collar body to physically prevent incorrect mating with another corresponding component.

Electrical connector for a photovoltaic module

A solar thermal control system includes a membrane configured to receive solar energy, wherein the membrane is configured to form a cavity between the membrane and an outer surface of a structure by coupling to the outer surface, and wherein the solar energy is configured to heat air within the cavity. The control system also includes a thermal collection unit configured to connect to the cavity and receive and direct air from the cavity, and a ducting system coupled to the thermal collection unit and configured to direct air from the thermal collection unit to at least one of the interior of the structure and a vent.

Solar thermal roofing system

A roofing, cladding, or siding apparatus comprises a roofing, cladding, or siding module and at least one clip. The module comprises an underlapping region and an exposed region. The underlapping region is adapted to be substantially covered by the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface. A projection extends from the exposed region to provide a bearing surface facing the under surface of the exposed region. The clip or clips is attachable to the underlapping region to provide a tongue adapted to be received between the bearing surface and the under surface of the exposed region of an adjacent overlapping module when installed on a building surface.

Roofing, cladding or siding apparatus

A roofing, cladding or siding product which is light weight, easy to install, durable, and resistant to environmental wear includes a module that can be used to form a weatherproof covering over top of a building surface. The module can also form a weatherproof covering, and be used as part of a thermal energy recovery or removal system. The module can also form part of a thermal energy recovery system that includes an array of solar cells to generate electrical energy.

Roofing, cladding or siding product, its manufacture and its use as part of a solar energy recovery system

A clip, for securing a portion of a long thin item such as a cable or pipe, includes a cradle portion for receiving a surface of an item to be secured, a fixing portion with at least one formation extending to be securable to a support, and a flexible member extending from a location at or adjacent an end of the cradle portion. The flexible portion has a free end and formations at or near the free end to engage with other formations fixed in relation to the cradle portion. In use, the cradle portion and the flexible member define an enclosing loop, such that the flexible member may hold an item against the cradle.

Multi-fit clip

A pipe or like support is molded as a unitary item having a region of concertinaing, serpentine, or otherwise longitudinally variable nature between end regions, for example having a longitudinally extensile linking region extending between at least a pair of the end regions the linking region can be of a concertina or serpentine type configuration. The end regions can both have passageways extending there through in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pipe or like member to be supported.

Pipe support

A clip for securing a portion of a long thin item such as a cable or pipe comprises of a cradle portion for receiving a surface of an item to be secured, a fixing portion with at least one formation extending to be securable to a support, and a flexible member extending from a location at or adjacent an end of the cradle portion. The flexible portion has a free end and formations at or near the free end to engage with other formations fixed in relation to the cradle portion. In use, the cradle portion and the flexible member define an enclosing loop, such that the flexible member may hold an item against the cradle.

A sealing member for sealing over an aperture in a surface. The member comprises a flange formed from a resilient material for sealing against the surface around the aperture in the surface. A strengthening member supports the flange. A retaining portion formed from the resilient material is provided on an outside surface of the strengthening member to secure the strengthening member to the flange. The retaining portion is integrally formed with the flange via a through hole in the strengthening member.

Sealing gland

An escutcheon or wall flange to receive a pipe, conduit, cable or like member has an outer periphery, and an inner periphery or a definable inner periphery to bear on the intended pipe. The escutcheon or flange is of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly of the inner periphery, or definable inner periphery, by a profile feature and/or a thickness increase. The escutcheon may also be of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly in the radial direction of the inner periphery by a profile feature of the face to be concealed in use or profile features of the face to be concealed in use. The escutcheon may also include one or more sacrificial or tear away portions for accommodating different sized pipe.

Escutcheon

This disclosure provides a roofing, cladding or siding product which is light weight, easy to install, durable and resistant to environmental wear. One embodiment relates to a module that can be used to form a weatherproof covering over top of a building surface. Another embodiment is a module which can, in additional to forming a weatherproof covering, be used as part of a thermal energy recovery or removal system. Yet another embodiment is a module which can, in addition to forming a weatherproof covering, and optionally in addition to being useful as part of a thermal energy recovery system, bears an array of solar cells to generate electrical energy. Assemblies, systems, uses, and methods of manufacture are also described.

A pipe or like support molded as a unitary item having a region of concertinaing, serpentine or otherwise longitudinally variable nature between end regions, for example having a longitudinally extensile linking region extending between at least a pair of the end regions the linking region can be of a concertina or serpentine type configuration. The end regions can both have passageways extending there through in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pipe or like member to be supported.
