Watertight Hard Case 1400
The Pelican 1400 is a watertight hard case built for cameras and sensitive electronics. It uses an Ultra High Impact copolymer shell with a neoprene O-ring seal and automatic pressure equalisation valve. The case floats in salt water with a 20 lbs load and includes high-density foam inserts for custom protection.
Ideal for rugged transport and air travel
Photographers and field technicians who need crushproof, dustproof, and chemical-resistant storage will benefit from the stainless steel padlock protectors and rubber over-moulded handle. Buyers who require a soft-sided bag, a larger rolling case, or internal divider systems instead of foam should consider other options.
Simple setup with foam customisation
The Pick N Pluck foam layers let you create fitted cavities by removing pre-scored cubes by hand; no tools are required. The automatic purge valve equalises pressure after altitude changes without user intervention. A common error is removing too much foam at once, leaving equipment loose inside the cavity.

Questions about this item
What size padlock shackle fits the stainless steel protectors on this 1400 case?
The stainless steel padlock protectors accept standard shackle diameters up to 6.4 mm (1/4 inch), matching the O-ring thickness specified for the seal.
Will the automatic pressure valve still equalise if I stack a loaded 1400 on top of older Pelican cases in a vehicle?
Yes, the automatic purge valve operates independently on each case, so pressure equalisation occurs regardless of stacking order or neighbouring cases.
How can I confirm the O-ring seal is intact after my first salt-water trip with a 20 lb load?
Close the empty case, press the valve button, and verify the lid remains firmly seated with no audible air leak — this confirms the 6.4 mm neoprene O-ring is sealing correctly.
