• Industrial control panel installations
• Commercial electrical wiring projects

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in high-temperature environments where polystyrene may lose its structural integrity. It is also not suitable for applications requiring metal-to-metal grounding or high-impact mechanical protection where steel or brass locknuts would be necessary.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG21
• Material: Polystyrene
• Color: Light grey
• Application: Cable gland fixation

How to use

To install the locknut, first insert the cable gland through the pre-drilled hole in the enclosure wall. Once the gland is positioned, thread the Bettermann PG21 locknut onto the gland from the inside of the enclosure. Tighten the nut manually or with appropriate tools until it is firmly seated against the enclosure wall, ensuring the cable gland is held securely in place.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable gland and enclosure hole are compatible with the PG21 thread standard.
• Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the thermal limits of polystyrene.
• Confirm the required quantity for your specific installation project.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the locknut is tightened sufficiently to prevent loosening over time, but avoid over-tightening to prevent potential damage to the plastic threads.
