A conventional feedthrough connector having a plurality of separate passages is secured in a hole in a bulkhead, followed by feeding separate wire bundles through the separate passages. Two potting dams are secured to the connector, one at each side of the bulkhead. Each potting dam has a collar encircling a projecting cylindrical stem of the connector and tightly secured thereto, and separate integral tubular segments encircling the wire bundles, respectively. The tubular segments are soft pliant material and are gathered tightly around the wire bundles. Settable sealant is injected through a conduit that opens into the collars to fill the collars and the connector passages, and thereby seal the wire bundles in the connector.
