This kit includes one 10cm x 10cm Brick Buster plate for external use and an 8mm single cable feed-through wall cap. The components are designed to cover damaged brickwork, plasterboard, or wood where cables pass through surfaces. The bushing protects the cable from potential damage and, when installed with silicone sealant, helps prevent water ingress through the hole in the brickwork. The wall cap features a 31mm diameter and a 27mm depth, requiring a 10mm cut-out for installation. Both pieces can be easily secured into position with silicone sealant, providing a clean and finished look for your cabling needs.

FAQs
Does this kit come with silicone sealant?
No, you will need to purchase a suitable outdoor-grade silicone sealant separately.
Can I use this for cables larger than 8mm?
No, the bush is precision-molded for 8mm cables. Using a larger cable may damage the bush or compromise the seal.
Can the Brick Buster plate be painted?
Yes, you can use standard exterior-grade spray paint or masonry paint to match the plate to your wall color.
Is this kit suitable for internal use?
Absolutely, it is ideal for hiding cable entry holes in plasterboard or wood-paneled walls.
What is the size of the hole needed for the bush?
You need to drill or ensure an existing hole is 10mm in diameter.
Troubleshooting
The plate does not sit flush against the wall.
Check for debris or uneven brick surface behind the plate and remove any loose masonry before applying sealant.
Water is still leaking through the hole.
Ensure that the silicone sealant forms a continuous bead around the entire perimeter of the plate and the insertion point of the bush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the cable is already fed through the wall and cut to your desired length.
Drilling: If not already present, drill a 10mm hole through your wall surface.
Application: Apply a generous bead of silicone sealant around the back of the Brick Buster plate and the bush cap.
Placement: Press the plate firmly against the wall and insert the bush into the hole until flush.
Finishing: Wipe away any excess silicone and allow it to cure fully before moving the cable to prevent breaking the seal.
Care: Periodically inspect the silicone seal for signs of cracking or shrinkage, especially on south-facing exterior walls subject to high heat.
