Helukabel PG13.5 Polyamide Cable Gland IP68 with Locknut, 6-12mm Clamping Range, 9mm Thread

The Helukabel PG13.5 polyamide cable gland is a robust component engineered for secure cable management in electrical enclosures and junction boxes. Designed to provide both strain relief and a reliable seal, this gland ensures that cables are held firmly in place while maintaining the integrity of the enclosure. Its durable polyamide construction offers excellent resistance to environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for various industrial and commercial wiring installations.

Advantages

This cable gland stands out due to its high-quality polyamide material, which provides superior mechanical strength and long-term durability. The inclusion of an IP68 protection rating guarantees that the connection is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water, ensuring safety in demanding environments. The design facilitates easy installation, while the included locknut ensures a vibration-resistant fit that prevents the cable from being pulled or twisted out of the housing.

Suitable for

• Securing cables in electrical control panels
• Protecting wiring in junction boxes
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Commercial electrical installations requiring moisture protection

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is not intended for use with cables outside the specified 6-12mm diameter range, as this would compromise the sealing effectiveness and strain relief. It is also not suitable for high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal limits of standard polyamide materials or for applications involving exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade plastic components.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG13.5
• Clamping range: 6-12mm
• Thread length: 9mm
• Protection rating: IP68
• Material: Polyamide
• Included: Locknut

How to use

To install the cable gland, first insert the threaded body through the pre-drilled hole in your enclosure wall. Secure the gland firmly from the inside using the provided locknut. Once the gland is fixed, loosen the dome nut slightly, pass your cable through the gland, and tighten the dome nut until the internal seal compresses securely around the cable jacket. This process ensures both a watertight seal and effective strain relief.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the hole diameter in your enclosure matches the PG13.5 standard.
• Ensure your cable outer diameter falls strictly within the 6-12mm range.
• Check the wall thickness of your enclosure to ensure the 9mm thread length is sufficient.

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. Avoid over-tightening with metal tools to prevent damage to the polyamide threads.
