How to use

To install the Hensel KST 70, first ensure the enclosure wall is prepared with the appropriate hole size. Insert the gland through the opening and secure it firmly using the provided locking mechanism. Once the gland is fixed, feed the cable through the center and tighten the cap to compress the internal seal around the cable jacket. This process ensures a secure grip and a watertight connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your cable to ensure it fits within the gland's clamping range.
• Check the wall thickness of your enclosure to ensure the thread length is sufficient.
• Confirm that the IP65 rating meets the environmental requirements of your specific installation site.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is inserted straight into the gland and that the cap is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal. Regularly inspect the connection during routine maintenance to ensure the seal remains intact and the cable is properly secured.
