Cable gland M16, nylon IP68, black, UL94V-3

The M16 cable gland is made of durable nylon and provides an IP68 level of protection suitable for applications requiring dust- and water-tight cable entries. Classified to UL94V-3 for flame retardancy, this black gland is intended for secure cable routing and mechanical strain relief in electrical enclosures, junction boxes and outdoor fixtures. The design ensures reliable sealing around cables to reduce ingress of moisture and contaminants while maintaining a compact footprint for M16 thread installations.

Advantages

This nylon M16 cable gland combines high ingress protection with a flame-retardant material classification, offering a balance of environmental resistance and safety. Its IP68 rating ensures prolonged submersion and dust-tight performance in harsh conditions, while the UL94V-3 classification reduces flammability risk compared with non-rated plastics. The product provides consistent mechanical strain relief to protect cable terminations and maintain enclosure integrity without requiring large mounting space.

Suitable for

• Cable entry and sealing in electrical enclosures and junction boxes
• Outdoor installations requiring dust- and water-tight solutions
• Industrial and commercial equipment with compact M16 threaded entries
• Applications needing mechanical strain relief for power and control cables
• Situations where a flame-retardant nylon component is preferred

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 compatible
• Material: nylon (flame-retardant class UL94V-3)
• Protection rating: IP68 (dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion)
• Colour: black
• Function: cable sealing and mechanical strain relief
• Typical cable diameter range: suitable for cables commonly used with M16 glands (verify actual cable diameter before installation)

How to use

Select a mounting hole with M16 thread or use an appropriate M16 adapter. Insert the cable gland into the enclosure or junction box entry and tighten the gland body to create a secure seal. Feed the cable through the gland, position the internal seal around the cable and secure the locking nut until the gland provides firm strain relief and sealing. Check the assembled interface for uniform compression of the sealing element and verify that the cable is immobilized to prevent stress at the termination point.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, confirm the cable diameter fits the gland's sealing range. For submerged applications, ensure the gland and mating enclosure meet IP68 requirements as a system. Do not overtighten plastic components; use recommended torque values when available. Inspect seals periodically in harsh environments and replace the gland if seals show wear or damage.
