Barton Marine are launching new Bulkhead Glands for 2026 alongside new additions to our Stanchion Block Range, an expanded Stand Up Block Range and a new size of Low Friction Ring with Spliced Dyneema Strop. Find out more about these new launches at METSTRADE 2025 – stand 01.474.
The Barton Bulkhead Gland Range
The Barton Bulkhead Pipe Glands range is the ultimate new solution to isolate boat compartments for safety and comfort by fully sealing the aperture between compartments where pipes, tubes and cables pass through, on both curved surfaces and with angled pipe entry. The gland requires no mastics, sealants or solvent based resins to perform and remains fully serviceable.
Achieving a reliable seal has been a long-standing challenge for the boat building and refit sectors and the glands enable boat yards to meet new MCA Workboat Code 3, MGN 200 and pending regulations that correspond with IMO protocols for vapour and water tight construction.
Key features include:
- Seals the aperture for pipe, tube & cable Integration
- Vapour & watertight construction
- Reduces vibration, noise & pipe chafing
- Compatible for angled pipes & curved surfaces
- Sealed but fully serviceable & adjustable
- 316 Stainless Steel & Nitrile Rubber (BS2751)
- Requires no mastics, sealants or solvent based resins
- Great value and easy installation
For boat owners these glands produce watertight compartments to reduce water damage and flood risk, odours are blocked from transferring through the boat, reduced vibration, noise and pipe chaffing through bulkheads are problems of the past.
The range consists of a variety of glands, inserts and blanking plugs to cover pipes and tube outer diameters of 25mm to 180mm. It provides great value with highly competitive RRPs from £24 – £180. Trade prices are available through Barton’s global distributor network.
