strung together this:

Having seen both, I'd say the Masterseal is better generally because of the
sealing normal plugs thing (although you pay mightily for the privilege).
However, I'd say that whilst using the dedicated IP66 plug, the Clipsal one
would seal better for long term use. It has proper rubber sealing rings,
rather than the compromise that would be required to seal a cable exit of
undetermined diameter.

Basically, the Masterseal is more convenient, but the Clipsal has better
weatherproofing. I may be wrong, though, it is purely through examination of
the parts that I say this, not through any proper scientific comparison.

Right then, we'll agree to disagree, possibly. (Although I'm not 100%
sure that we do!) I fit MK Masterseal because of the quality and the
sealing that it has for a wide range of universal applications. I
don't fit the Clipsal because that would mean using a matching pair of
plug and socket, this loses the flexibility and universalness of the
MK. Although there is nothing wrong with what you say that is why I
don't fit them.
Think that's cleared it up!
