Gardner Bender KO705 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the 3/8 inch on the Gardner Bender KO705 refer to the knockout size?
No. The 3/8 inch on the KO705 is the thread size of the screw that draws the seal tight, not the diameter of the knockout it closes. Each seal is marked with its size and catalog number on the face, so if you are matching to a hole already punched in a panel, read the size marking on the part rather than the thread callout.
2) Is the KO705 knockout seal rust resistant enough for a damp or industrial enclosure?
Both the body and the hardware are protected. The seal itself is rust-proofed cold-rolled galvanized steel in 16 gauge, and the screw and bar are zinc plated, so there is no bare steel fastener sitting in the assembly. That covers normal commercial and industrial enclosure exposure. For anything washdown or outdoor-wet rated, the enclosure rating governs, not the plug.
3) Do I need a gasket or sealant with a knockout seal, or just the plug?
The KO705 ships as a complete closure: body, zinc-plated screw, and bar. No separate gasket, locknut, or sealant is listed as part of it. You tighten the one screw and the bar clamps the seal against the inside of the panel wall. If your enclosure carries a liquid-tight rating you want to preserve, use a sealing-type closure specified for that rating instead.
4) What part number do I give my distributor for this Gardner Bender knockout seal?
Order it as Gardner Bender KO705. That is the manufacturer part number and the only configuration the model covers, so there is no finish or size suffix to add to the order.
5) Can one person install a knockout seal in a live panel enclosure without pulling the deadfront apart?
The design is built around that. The embossed shoulder self-centers the seal in the open knockout so it holds position while you start the fastener, and retention is a single screw rather than a nut on the back side. You still need rear access for the bar to swing behind the panel wall, and standard practice is to de-energize before working inside an enclosure.
