ELEKTROPLAST TSS PG16 Cable Gland for 8-15mm Cables, IP67, Grey

The ELEKTROPLAST TSS PG16 cable gland is a professional-grade component engineered to provide secure cable entry and effective strain relief for various electrical enclosures. Designed for durability and reliability, this grey cable gland ensures that cables are held firmly in place while maintaining the integrity of the enclosure. With its robust construction, it is a dependable solution for maintaining organized and protected electrical connections in both industrial and residential environments.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior protection against environmental factors, featuring an IP67 ingress protection rating that guarantees complete resistance to dust ingress and protection against the effects of temporary water immersion. The wide clamping range allows for versatile use with cables between 8mm and 15mm in diameter, ensuring a tight and secure fit that prevents accidental cable pull-out. Its high-quality material composition provides long-term resistance to mechanical stress, making it an essential component for maintaining safe and compliant electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Securing cables in electrical distribution boxes
• Industrial control panels and automation equipment
• Residential electrical junction boxes
• Outdoor installations requiring moisture protection
• Machinery and equipment housing

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is designed for standard PG16 threaded openings and may not be compatible with enclosures requiring metric or NPT threading without the use of appropriate adapters. It is also not intended for use in high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal limits of the plastic material or in applications involving extreme chemical exposure.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG16
• Cable diameter range: 8mm to 15mm
• Ingress protection rating: IP67
• Material: Durable plastic
• Color: Grey

How to use

To install the cable gland, first ensure that the enclosure has a compatible PG16 threaded hole or a pre-drilled opening. Insert the gland body through the hole and secure it from the inside using the provided locknut. Once the gland is fixed, loosen the dome nut slightly, insert the cable through the gland, and tighten the dome nut firmly. As the nut is tightened, the internal seal will compress around the cable jacket, creating a watertight and dust-tight connection that also provides strain relief.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your enclosure has a PG16 compatible mounting hole
• Ensure your cable outer diameter falls within the 8mm to 15mm range
• Check if the IP67 rating meets the environmental requirements of your specific installation site

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP67 seal, ensure the cable jacket is clean and free of debris before insertion. Always tighten the dome nut by hand or with appropriate tools to ensure the seal is evenly compressed without over-tightening, which could damage the plastic threads.
