The Vestil D-350-10 Nylon (Vinyl) Dock Seal is designed to create an airtight seal between a loading dock and a trailer, helping to reduce energy loss and protect freight from the elements. This unit features 36 oz. nylon reinforced vinyl facings, which provide enhanced tear resistance compared with similarly weighted materials, and a through-the-wall installation that includes a full-height air escape tunnel to relieve positive pressure when a trailer makes contact. The three-piece construction stands 12 inches high, with beveled sides that measure 9-1/2 inches at the wall and 12 inches at the face, and it comes with a twenty inch projection dock seal configuration for flush-dock applications in conjunction with Edge-O-Dock systems. The seal is intended to be mounted on a wolmanized wood backing and is supplied with mounting hardware and installation instructions for straightforward setup. A 5-inch maximum compression is recommended to achieve proper sealing performance, aligning the unit with standard dock profiles and trailer tolerances as verified by the manufacturer’s notes. This model comes in a 10-inch projection variant, identified by the part number VESD-350-10, and is sized to fit typical dock openings as specified by the manufacturer. Units are non-returnable.
Understanding the construction details matters because the durable fabric facings and built-in air tunnels directly influence how well the seal can contact a trailer and expel trapped air, which affects sealing effectiveness and energy efficiency at the dock. The three-piece configuration and wall-mounted installation help ensure a consistent seal across varying trailer heights, while the recommended compression provides guidance for achieving proper contact without over-stressing components. For best results, verify dock opening dimensions and project alignment prior to installation, and follow the included installation instructions for proper mounting.
