How to use

To install the cable gland, insert the threaded 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 cap slightly, insert the cable through the sealing insert, and tighten the cap until the internal seal compresses securely around the cable jacket. This ensures both a tight seal and effective strain relief.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the PG13.5 thread size matches your enclosure requirements.
• Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the clamping range of the gland.
• Check the environmental conditions of the installation site to ensure compatibility with polyamide.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is inserted straight and that the cap is tightened sufficiently to achieve the IP68 seal without over-torquing, which could damage the plastic threads.
