FAQs

Does the Peli 1470 come with foam?

No, this specific model, the Peli 1470 Laptop Case - Without Foam, does not include interior padding. You would need to purchase compatible foam separately or use alternative padding solutions.

What are the exact internal dimensions of the case?

The internal dimensions are 39.88 cm x 27.18 cm x 9.83 cm (Length x Width x Depth).

Is this case suitable for flying?

What is the warranty on the Peli 1470 case?

Peli cases, including the 1470, typically come with a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I submerge the case in water?

The Peli 1470 is rated as watertight (IPX7 equivalent for many Peli cases) and can withstand submersion under specific conditions, but it is designed primarily for protection against splashes, rain, and accidental immersion rather than prolonged submersion.

What materials is the case made from?

The case is constructed from durable materials including ABS synthetics, polymer, and stainless steel for the hardware.

How much weight can the case hold?

While the case itself weighs 1.94 kg empty, its buoyancy is rated at 11.30 kg, indicating its capacity to support equipment up to that weight while floating.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to close or open.

Check the O-ring seal for debris or misalignment. Ensure the pressure equalization valve is not blocked. Verify that the contents inside are not interfering with the seal.

Water ingress despite being latched.

Inspect the O-ring seal for damage or wear. Ensure the case was fully closed and latched correctly. The valve might be obstructed; clean it gently as per care instructions.

Latches do not feel secure.

Ensure nothing is obstructing the latches. Check for any damage to the latch mechanism. If the issue persists, contact Peli support.

Pressure valve seems stuck.

Gently clean the valve area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Avoid forcing or disassembling the valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Peli 1470 arrives ready for use, with its primary setup involving ensuring the O-Ring seal is clean and properly seated for optimal watertightness. If you plan to use it with a laptop, it is recommended to fit custom foam or use padded inserts to secure your device, as this model is sold without foam.

Compatibility: This case is designed to accommodate laptops and other sensitive equipment. The internal dimensions are 39.88 x 27.18 x 9.83 cm. Always measure your device to ensure it fits comfortably within these dimensions, considering any necessary padding.

Care: To maintain the case's protective qualities:

  1. Cleaning the O-Ring Seal: Regularly wipe the O-ring seal with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure it is dry before closing the case.
  2. Cleaning the Case Exterior/Interior: Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
  3. Pressure Valve: Ensure the pressure equalization valve is free from obstruction. Gently rinse with water if necessary, but do not attempt to disassemble it.
  4. Latches & Hinges: Keep latches and hinges clean. A light application of silicone lubricant can ensure smooth operation if needed.
