Beschreibung
The Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm is designed to create a modular interface between compatible 115mm Blu-Sub enclosure tube sections. When used with the required Subsea Aluminum Flange, the coupling can join Subsea Enclosure Acrylic Tube sections, Subsea Enclosure Aluminum Tube sections, or mixed acrylic and aluminum enclosure tube assemblies.
In addition to joining tube sections, the coupling provides radial M10 access around the enclosure body. This is useful when cable penetrators, sealing plugs, connectors, or other compatible M10 components are better positioned along the side of the enclosure instead of through an axial end-cap. This can improve cable routing, reduce congestion at the end-cap, and allow cleaner access when removing or reinstalling the end-cap during service.
The coupling is especially useful for longer enclosure builds, modular electronics layouts, or systems where wiring needs to pass between connected tube sections. It can also help when a standard tube length is slightly too short and a small extension is required as part of a larger enclosure assembly.
When the coupling is used at the end of an enclosure assembly, it requires the matching Blank End-Cap for 115mm Coupling available on this page. Standard 115mm aluminum end-caps are designed for the normal flange interface and do not attach directly to the coupling. Custom port configurations, alternate hole sizes, and specialty end-caps may be available upon request, but custom configurations require additional lead time and may increase cost.
Metric Sealing Plug (Blank), cable penetrators, connectors, flanges, and other port hardware are sold separately. Any unused holes must be properly sealed before underwater use. The overall depth rating of a complete enclosure assembly is determined by the lowest-rated component in the system, and very long enclosure assemblies should be externally supported to reduce mechanical stress on the tube and coupling interfaces.
A ball-end hex socket screwdriver is required during installation, as the coupling mounting screws are fastened at an inclined angle. Always verify O-ring condition, sealing surfaces, fastener installation, and port sealing before deployment.
Compatible 115mm Enclosure Tube Options
Sold Separately
The Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm is designed for use with Blu-Sub 115mm enclosure tube systems. When used with the required Subsea Aluminum Flanges, it can connect two compatible tube sections together to create a longer, modular enclosure assembly.
Subsea Enclosure Acrylic Tube
Lightweight, optically clear tube suitable for underwater electronics housings, camera systems, inspection equipment, and scientific instruments where internal visibility is useful. The coupling can be used to join acrylic tube sections together or combine acrylic and aluminum tube sections in the same 115mm enclosure assembly.
Subsea Enclosure Aluminum Tube
Rugged aluminum tube for demanding subsea, ROV, and marine robotics applications where mechanical strength and deep-rated enclosure construction are required. The coupling can be used to join aluminum tube sections together or combine aluminum and acrylic tube sections for modular enclosure layouts.
Radial Port Access & End-Cap Configuration
Blank coupling end-cap, sealing plugs, cable penetrators, connectors, and other port hardware are sold separately.
The Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm provides radial M10 access around the side of the enclosure body, allowing cable penetrators, sealing plugs, connectors, or other compatible M10 components to be positioned around the coupling instead of only through an axial end-cap.
This layout can improve cable routing, reduce congestion at the end-cap, and make servicing easier by allowing the enclosure end closure to remain cleaner and easier to remove. When cables and connections are routed through the coupling body, the end-cap can be removed or reinstalled with less interference from external wiring.
When the coupling is used at the end of an enclosure assembly, it requires the matching Blank End-Cap for 115mm Coupling available on this page. Standard 115mm aluminum end-caps are designed for the normal flange interface and do not attach directly to the coupling.
Metric Sealing Plug (Blank) components may be used to seal unused M10 ports. Compatible cable penetrators, connectors, and other M10×1 port hardware can be selected based on the wiring and connection requirements of the enclosure assembly.
Requires 115mm Subsea Aluminum Flange Interface
Sold Separately
The Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm does not connect directly to an enclosure tube. It is designed to mate with the Subsea Aluminum Flange, which provides the required sealing and mounting interface between the coupling and each compatible 115mm tube section.
For joining two enclosure tube sections, each tube end requires its own Subsea Aluminum Flange. The coupling is then installed between the flanged tube ends to create a modular connection with radial M10 access around the coupling body.
This flange-based interface allows the coupling to be used with compatible Subsea Enclosure Acrylic Tube and Subsea Enclosure Aluminum Tube sections in the 115mm enclosure series.
Custom Port Configurations Available
Sold Separately
The standard Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm includes radial M10×1 access holes around the coupling body for compatible sealing plugs, cable penetrators, connectors, and other M10 hardware. Custom hole sizes, alternate port layouts, and specialty coupling end-caps may be available upon request.
Custom configurations can be useful when a project requires a specific connector pattern, larger or smaller cable entry points, alternate radial port spacing, or a dedicated end-cap layout for a particular electronics or subsea system design.
Custom versions require additional review, extended lead time, and may increase cost. Contact us with your required tube size, port layout, connector or penetrator details, and application depth so we can review feasibility.

What is the Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm used for?
The Enclosure Tube Coupling 115mm is used to join compatible 115mm Blu-Sub enclosure tube sections together while also providing radial M10 access points around the side of the enclosure body. This can help with modular enclosure builds, longer tube assemblies, and cleaner cable routing.
Can it join acrylic and aluminum enclosure tubes?
Yes. The coupling is compatible with the Subsea Enclosure Acrylic Tube and Subsea Enclosure Aluminum Tube 115mm enclosure systems when used with the required Subsea Aluminum Flange. Acrylic-to-acrylic, aluminum-to-aluminum, and mixed acrylic/aluminum assemblies are possible.
Does the coupling connect directly to the tube?
No. The coupling is designed to interface with the Subsea Aluminum Flange. The appropriate flange is required between the coupling and each enclosure tube section.
What size components fit the side holes?
The coupling has 16 radial Ø10.1 through holes intended for compatible M10×1 components, such as sealing plugs, cable penetrators, or other suitable M10 hardware.
Are sealing plugs or cable penetrators included?
No. Metric Sealing Plug (Blank), cable penetrators, connectors, flanges, and other port hardware are sold separately. Any unused holes must be properly sealed before underwater use.
Why use radial M10 holes instead of putting everything through the end-cap?
Radial access can improve cable routing and reduce congestion at the end-cap. It can also make servicing easier because the end-cap can be removed without pulling all cables and connections out with it.
Can the coupling be used at the end of an enclosure?
Yes. When the coupling is used at the end of an enclosure assembly, it requires the matching Blank End-Cap for 115mm Coupling available on this page. Standard 115mm aluminum end-caps are designed for the normal flange interface and do not attach directly to the coupling.
Can multiple couplings be used in one enclosure assembly?
Yes. Multiple tube sections may be chained together using additional couplings and Subsea Aluminum Flange components. For very long enclosure assemblies, external support should be used to reduce mechanical stress on the tube and coupling interfaces.
What is the depth rating?
The coupling and matching blank end-cap are rated to 1,000m / 3,281ft. The actual depth rating of a complete enclosure assembly is determined by the lowest-rated component in the system.
Is a special tool required for installation?
Yes. A ball-end hex socket screwdriver is required because the coupling screws are fastened at an inclined angle.
Can custom hole sizes or custom end-caps be supplied?
Custom hole sizes, port configurations, and specialty end-caps may be available upon request. Custom configurations require additional lead time and may increase cost.
Is this available for 85mm or 165mm enclosure tubes?
