An integrally formed flexible entry boot provides a fluid-tight fitting between a wall of a fluid containment region and a conduit passing through the wall. The flexible entry boot comprises a seal member disposed within the containment region and a screw securing plate mounted to the seal member. A cylindrical hollow support sleeve has a degree of flexibility sufficient to allow for the insertion of the conduit at angles less than or equal to an angle normal to the fluid containment wall while maintaining a fluid-tight environment, the hollow sleeve having a first open portion integrally attached to the seal member, the first open portion having a central throughbore in fluid communication with the cylindrical hollow support sleeve, the hollow sleeve having a second open portion opposed to, and integrally attached to the first open portion, the first open portion adapted to flexibly receive the conduit, and the second open portion adapted to releasably hold the conduit in place. The hollow support sleeve is releasably attached to the conduit. The entry boot further comprises a mechanism, extending outwardly from the containment region, for releasably attaching the seal member to the wall of the containment region.
