The Vestil D-350-17 Nylon (Vinyl) Dock Seal is designed for use at loading docks to create an airtight seal between the dock opening and the rear of a trailer. This unit uses 36 oz. nylon reinforced vinyl facings, which provide greater tear resistance compared with lighter materials, and features chemically sealed ends to deter moisture intrusion. The dock seal is constructed with three foam-filled pads and a through-the-wall installation kit, delivering a substantial contact area and an integrated air escape tunnel to reduce pressure buildup as a trailer compresses the seal. The assembly is mounted on a wolmanized wood framework and is configured with a three-piece construction that includes a full-height air tunnel to facilitate airflow during loading, helping to minimize energy loss and weather exposure.
This model supports a 17-inch projection and is compatible with flush dock configurations in conjunction with an Edge-O-Dock setup that uses a 20-inch projection for proper alignment. Quick installation is aided by included mounting hardware and installation instructions, helping ensure a proper, secure fit. Size-wise, this unit is specified for a 17-inch projection, with the overall assembly designed to accommodate typical dock-to-trailer compression while maintaining a protective seal. As with many dock-seal installations, accurate sizing is important, and field measurements should be confirmed to ensure a proper fit before ordering.
When considering use, this dock seal is appropriate for environments where weatherproofing and energy conservation at the loading dock are priorities, and where a robust, tear-resistant facing is desirable. The unit is supplied as a complete assembly with the necessary hardware for installation, and the product is non-returnable once purchased. For best results, follow the installation guidance to achieve a proper seal and to maintain the integrity of the foam-filled pads over time.
