Subsea Aluminum Flange is required to seal either a Subsea Enclosure Aluminum Tube or a Subsea Enclosure Acrylic Tube using a Subsea Aluminum End-Cap. These end caps are designed for use with Blu-Sub Series watertight enclosures and are machined from black anodized aluminum for subsea durability.

The back of each Subsea Aluminum End-Cap features a recessed step to create a smooth contact surface for sealing. All screw holes are countersunk so screws sit flush and do not protrude. Available in 85 mm, 115 mm, and 165 mm diameters, the Subsea Aluminum End-Cap provides a solid seal for enclosures that do not require a viewing window.

All hole layouts are precision-drilled. Only the 115 mm 18-Hole option includes 11× M10 threaded holes plus 7× M10 thru holes. All other end-cap options use thru-holes only. Threaded holes allow penetrator devices to be mounted without a rear nut, which is required on thru-hole versions.

Custom hole configurations are available upon request. Please refer to the extended description on this page for details and instructions on submitting a custom drilling layout when ordering.

DESCRIPTION

Each Blu-Sub End Cap is drilled to order based on your application needs. We offer several pre-configured hole patterns and also accept fully custom drilling layouts tailored to your design. All custom and standard layouts are produced with precision-drilled thru holes. The only exception is the 115 mm 18-Hole option, which includes 11× M10 threaded holes plus 7× M10 thru holes. Custom threaded-hole layouts are not available (only thru hole layouts).

Threaded holes allow penetrator devices to be mounted without a rear nut, which is required on thru-hole versions. This is particularly important on the compact 18-hole design, where threaded holes on the perimeter allow components to be mounted closer to the edge without requiring extra clearance for nuts.

Because holes are drilled after anodizing, the inner surfaces will expose raw aluminum and no longer have the black finish. This has no impact on sealing performance, as the inner surfaces are not exposed to water once properly sealed. It also has no effect on appearance, since all holes must be sealed with cable penetrators, blank plugs, sensors, or fittings before deployment.

Product images shown display a fully anodized end cap before hole drilling. Exposed raw surfaces are hidden once installation is complete.

Guidelines for Custom End Cap Design

Custom Order Process

Purchase the correct end cap size: Add the appropriate size to your cart (Custom 85 mm, 115 mm, or 165 mm) and complete checkout.
Download the DXF file: Use the link in the Downloads section below to get the correct 2D CAD template for your selected size.
Edit the DXF: Open the file in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Fusion 360). Use circles to mark hole positions. Center points indicate drill locations. Supported diameters are: M6 (6.1 mm), M8 (8.1 mm), M10 (10.1 mm), M14 (14.1 mm), M16 (16.1 mm). Contact us before ordering if you need a different size.
Submit your design: Email your edited DXF file to contact@blu-sub.com, including your order number and the quantity required per design. Allow 2 additional business days for processing.

DIY Customization (Blank End Caps)

As an alternative, you may drill your own holes using blank end caps (listed as “End Cap Blank – no holes”). Use a drill press or guided equipment to ensure perpendicular, watertight holes. Test your layout in advance with the actual components or penetrators you plan to install.

For detailed instructions, refer to the Step-by-Step Guide to Customizing an End Cap.

Important Warnings

Do not scratch the O-ring contact surface: Any damage can result in leaks or seal failure. Discontinue use if the sealing surface is compromised.
Rear nut clearance: For thru-hole variants, penetrators secured with nuts must not extend beyond the circular sunken step on the back of the end cap. Reference the Surface of Subsidence (B) dimension in the Technical Specifications table.
Depth rating disclaimer: Custom or user-drilled end caps are made to your specifications. Blu-Sub does not guarantee pressure ratings for modified units. Use at your own risk—we are not liable for failure due to improper drilling, sealing, or design.

Compatible with Subsea Aluminum Flange

Sold Separately

A Subsea Aluminum Flange is required when using either Blu-Sub Aluminum Tubes or Acrylic Tubes. The flange creates a rigid interface that enables secure fastening of end caps to the tube body while ensuring proper compression of the O-rings for a watertight seal.

It also serves as the structural mounting base for the end cap, aligning components precisely and helping to distribute pressure evenly under deep-sea conditions.

Flanges are matched to the diameter of the tube—available in 85 mm, 115 mm, or 165 mm sizes—and must be installed using compatible screws and sealing methods to ensure enclosure integrity in subsea environments.

Can it still be used if the contact surface of the O-ring is accidentally scratched?
No, it cannot be used, as there is a risk of leakage.

Are they compatible with Blu-Sub aluminum tubes, acrylic tubes, and flanges?
Yes, they are compatible with tubes of the same size and can be directly replaced.

Is it a defective product if there are a few lines on the surface?
No, a few lines are not scratches — they are marks left by the tool during processing. They can be used normally without affecting the sealing.

Whether to apply grease to O-rings every time?
Yes, applying lubricating grease has several benefits: it helps remove dust and impurities from O-rings during application and allows O-rings to adhere to the groove for easy assembly.

What if I want to use acrylic with perforations for the end cap despite the recommendation?
You can download the DXF-format contour diagram of the end cap, draw the perforations yourself, and then have the acrylic sheet laser-cut at a local shop or find a service that offers laser cutting.

Why is there no M14 or M16 hole for the 165 end cap?
Due to the large number of holes and sizes, it is not possible to provide all the holes in stock. However, you can use actual threading screws or a printed drilling template to compare. Some of the M10 holes can be reamed out to M14 or M16. When reaming or drilling with a non-porous hatch, there is no need to oxidize the surface again after drilling, as the hole will not come into contact with water and can be used directly after opening.

Can I use acrylic as a threaded or window end cap?
Transparent acrylic end caps are not available and are not recommended for use as threaded or window components. Testing has shown that acrylic sheets have inconsistent pressure resistance and are prone to cracking around mounting holes. If a transparent window is required, consider using the Glass Window Flange instead. However, for low-pressure applications, you may download the outer contour drawings and have an acrylic sheet laser-cut by a local shop or advertising business.

Do you offer threaded-hole end caps?
Yes. Only the 115 mm 18-Hole version includes threaded holes (11× M10 threaded + 7× M10 thru). All other end-cap variants are thru-hole only.

Do blank aluminum end caps include adhesive hole-marking stickers?
No. Blank aluminum end caps do not include stickers. Adhesive hole-marking stickers are only provided with the Subsea Polymer Flange & End-Cap.
