16-gauge steel conduit seal
These Gardner Bender KO703 seals close unused 1-inch knockouts in electrical boxes. Made from rust-proofed, cold-rolled galvanized steel with zinc-plated hardware, they are sold in boxes of 100. Each seal is marked for size and catalogue number to simplify identification on the job site. They suit electricians and maintenance crews finishing conduit runs in commercial or residential work.
Sustained environmental resistance
The galvanised steel body and zinc-plated screw resist corrosion during long-term exposure in damp or outdoor locations. The embossed centre keeps the seal centred in the knockout while the single screw clamps it tight, preventing the seal from working loose through vibration or thermal cycling. The 16-gauge thickness maintains structural rigidity without deforming under normal panel stress. No moving parts or seals degrade over time.
Inside or outside mounting
Installation requires only a screwdriver and can be performed from either the interior or exterior of the box. The self-centering emboss eliminates guesswork, and the single-screw design reduces the chance of cross-threading or stripped threads. Common issues arise when the knockout diameter is oversized or the box metal is too thin for the screw to bite securely. Ensure the knockout matches the 1-inch nominal size before starting.

Questions about this item
Does the 16-gauge steel seal heat up or make noise when conduit runs continuously?
The steel seal is a passive component with no moving parts, so it generates no heat and produces no audible noise during continuous conduit use.
What tools or fasteners must I already have to install the 1in knockout seal?
A standard screwdriver is required to drive the single zinc-plated screw that secures the seal in the knockout opening.
Will the 16-gauge steel seal fit older knockout boxes that use the same 1in size?
Yes, the seal is sized for standard 1in knockouts and its embossed self-centering design works with existing boxes of that diameter.
