Legrand 098001 Polyamide Cable Gland M16 IP68 Light Grey

The Legrand 098001 polyamide cable gland is a professional-grade component engineered to provide secure cable entry and effective strain relief for various electrical installations. Designed with an M16 thread size, this light grey gland ensures a robust connection between cables and electrical enclosures, maintaining the integrity of your wiring systems in demanding environments.

Advantages

This cable gland offers exceptional durability thanks to its high-quality polyamide construction, which provides resistance to mechanical stress and environmental wear. The IP68 ingress protection rating guarantees that the unit is completely dust-tight and capable of withstanding immersion in water, making it a reliable choice for protecting sensitive electrical connections from moisture, dust, and debris. Its design facilitates quick and secure installation, ensuring that cables remain firmly in place while preventing accidental pull-out.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical enclosures
• Commercial wiring projects
• Outdoor junction boxes
• Control panels and automation equipment

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is designed for specific thread sizes and cable diameters. It may not be suitable for applications requiring larger thread dimensions or for environments involving extreme chemical exposure or high-temperature conditions that exceed the thermal limits of polyamide materials.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Material: Polyamide
• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Color: Light grey
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack

How to use

To install the Legrand cable gland, insert the cable through the gland body before securing the gland into the threaded opening of the enclosure. Tighten the locknut firmly to ensure a secure fit. Once the gland is mounted, insert the cable to the desired length and tighten the dome nut to compress the internal seal around the cable jacket, creating a waterproof and dust-tight connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M16 thread size matches your enclosure opening.
• Check that your cable diameter is compatible with the clamping range of the M16 gland.
• Ensure the environmental conditions do not exceed the material specifications.

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, and verify that the sealing washer is correctly positioned between the gland body and the enclosure wall.
