How to use

To install the cable gland, insert the cable through the gland body and tighten the cap to compress the internal silicone seal around the cable jacket. Ensure that the thread is properly aligned with the enclosure entry point to prevent cross-threading. Tighten the gland to the manufacturer's recommended torque to achieve the specified IP68 seal and strain relief. Always verify that the installation complies with local safety regulations regarding explosion-proof equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M16x1.5 thread size matches your enclosure requirements
• Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the gland's clamping range
• Confirm that the ATEX certification meets the safety standards of your specific installation site
• Check if the nickel-plated brass material is suitable for the chemical environment of your application

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and safety, ensure that the cable gland is tightened correctly to maintain the IP68 seal. Regularly inspect the installation for signs of mechanical wear or environmental degradation, especially in harsh industrial conditions.
