Purpose-Built Protection

The Pelican 1500 EMS Case is a new Essential Kit designed for professionals who transport sensitive equipment through extreme environments. Its watertight silicone O-ring seal and automatic purge valve equalise pressure while keeping water and dust out. Stainless steel hardware and over-moulded rubber handles add durability for daily field use.

Upgrade From Soft Bags

This case replaces fabric pouches or generic hard shells that lack pressure equalisation and certified watertight performance. The jump is worth it when gear must survive immersion, crushing loads or rapid altitude changes without internal damage. Since 1976 the Protector line has been chosen for arctic expeditions and combat zones where lesser containers fail.

Limits Of The Protector Standard

The automatic purge valve balances pressure but does not ventilate heat, so sealed electronics can overheat during long powered operation. The O-ring seal requires clean mating surfaces; grit or damage compromises water resistance until inspected. No internal divider system is included, so organisation must be added separately.

Questions about this item

What does the 1500 case need to fit securely?

The 1500 case relies on a watertight silicone O-ring lid and an automatic purge valve to seal the interior; the lid must close fully so the O-ring compresses evenly around the entire perimeter.

How is the 1500 EMS case installed, and what step is often missed?

No tools are required; simply place gear inside, close the lid, and press the automatic purge valve to equalise pressure — skipping the valve press leaves the seal under vacuum at altitude.

What maintenance will the 1500 case need later?

Inspect the silicone O-ring and over-moulded rubber handles periodically; clean the O-ring groove of grit and apply a light silicone lubricant if the ring feels dry to keep the seal watertight.
