Product Information

Full details

The Loops Brick Buster and Bush Tidy Cap Kit is designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professional installers who need a clean, professional finish for cable entry points on walls. This kit excels at covering unsightly damage caused by drilling through brickwork, plasterboard, or wood, providing a weather-resistant barrier that protects cables from abrasion. While it is highly effective for standard residential setups, note that the kit is specifically sized for 8mm cabling and requires an external sealant for maximum protection against moisture ingress.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers unsightly drill holes and cracks
  • Protects cables from damage due to sharp edges
  • Provides a clean, professional finish
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications

Cons

  • Requires additional silicone sealant for full weatherproofing
  • Designed specifically for 8mm cable diameters
  • Installation requires a specific 10mm hole cut-out

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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