Cable Gland Erko PG13.5, polyamide, IP68, grey

Erko PG13.5 cable gland in grey polyamide provides a compact, IP68-rated solution for sealing and securing single cables where they enter enclosures, junction boxes or equipment housings. The gland is designed to deliver dust-tight and watertight protection while offering mechanical strain relief for cables in industrial, electrical and outdoor installations. Its polyamide construction resists typical environmental stresses and maintains a reliable seal under static and limited dynamic conditions.

Advantages

The polyamide material ensures a balance of mechanical strength, chemical resistance and UV stability suitable for many application environments. With an IP68 ingress protection rating, the cable gland maintains protection against dust and prolonged immersion in water when installed correctly. Its compact PG13.5 form factor allows easy integration into standard knockouts and threaded ports and provides effective strain relief for single cables without requiring additional sealing compounds.

Suitable for

• Sealing single power or signal cables entering enclosures and junction boxes
• Outdoor enclosures or equipment subject to dust and occasional immersion
• Industrial control panels, electrical cabinets and lighting fixtures
• Applications requiring reliable strain relief and environmental protection

Key specifications

• Material: polyamide (nylon)
• Protection rating: IP68 (when installed according to manufacturer guidance)
• Thread type: PG13.5 standard metric-style thread
• Color: grey
• For single cable use with appropriate diameter range for PG13.5

How to use

Drill or prepare a compatible PG13.5-sized hole in the enclosure or panel and insert the gland body from the outside or inside depending on assembly preference. Pass the cable through the gland, then tighten the sealing nut or cap to compress the internal seal around the cable until a secure, water-tight fit is obtained. Ensure threads are engaged properly and use washers or locknuts as required by the enclosure design. Verify the cable diameter is within the gland's specified clamping range before final tightening.

Usage recommendations

Install the gland following enclosure manufacturer instructions and maintain the correct torque for the sealing nut to preserve IP68 performance. Avoid installing on sharply bent or heavily loaded cables; provide additional strain relief if cables will be subjected to frequent movement or mechanical stress. For long-term outdoor exposure, periodically inspect the polyamide surface for signs of wear or UV degradation and replace if the seal or mechanical integrity is compromised.
