- Thread size: PG7
- Color: Light grey
- Application: Cable gland fastening
- Resistance: Vibration-resistant
How to use
To install the Bettermann 116 PG7 locknut, first insert the cable gland through the opening of the enclosure. Once the gland is in position, thread the locknut onto the gland's male thread from the inside of the enclosure. Tighten the locknut manually or with an appropriate tool until it is firmly seated against the enclosure wall, ensuring the cable gland is held securely in place. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the polystyrene threads.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your cable gland and enclosure opening are compatible with the PG7 thread standard
- Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the temperature limits of polystyrene
- Check the wall thickness of the enclosure to ensure sufficient thread length for the locknut
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, ensure the surface of the enclosure is clean and flat before tightening the locknut. Regularly inspect the installation during routine maintenance to confirm that the connection remains secure and free from vibration-induced loosening.
