EM Group PG13.5 Polyamide Cable Gland IP68

The EM Group PG13.5 polyamide cable gland is a robust and reliable solution for securing cable entries into electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Engineered for durability, this fitting ensures that cables are held firmly in place while maintaining the integrity of the enclosure. With its high-grade polyamide construction, it offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, making it a standard choice for professional electrical installations.

Advantages

This cable gland provides superior protection against external elements, featuring an IP68 rating that guarantees complete dust-tightness and protection against prolonged immersion in water. The polyamide material is lightweight yet highly resistant to impact, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring a long service life in demanding industrial environments. Furthermore, the integrated design provides effective strain relief, preventing cable pull-out and protecting internal connections from damage caused by tension or vibration.

Suitable for

• Securing cables in electrical junction boxes
• Industrial control panels and automation equipment
• Outdoor electrical installations requiring moisture protection
• Cable management in machinery and manufacturing plants

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for standard industrial and electrical applications and may not be suitable for environments involving extreme heat or direct exposure to aggressive chemicals that degrade polyamide. It is also not intended for high-pressure underwater applications or specialized hazardous zones requiring explosion-proof certification.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG13.5
• Material: Polyamide
• Protection rating: IP68
• Function: Cable strain relief and environmental sealing

How to use

To install the cable gland, first insert the body through the pre-drilled hole in the enclosure wall and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Once the gland is fixed, loosen the dome nut, insert the cable through the gland, and tighten the dome nut until the internal seal compresses securely around the cable jacket. This action ensures both a firm grip on the cable and a watertight seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter matches the clamping range of the PG13.5 size
• Ensure the enclosure wall thickness is compatible with the thread length
• Confirm that the environmental conditions do not exceed the temperature limits of polyamide

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal around the cable, and verify that the sealing washer is correctly positioned between the gland body and the enclosure surface.
