Cable Gland Instruction
To correctly use the Cable Gland, determine the diameter(s) of the cable(s) you want to run into the
enclosure. Select an end drill (best) or drill bit of the same diameter or up to 20 thousandths larger. See the
next page for protection level based on hole diameter versus cable diameter. While the Cable Gland is
assembled, mill or drill a hole for each able centered on the split line in the Split Insert.
Note: To get the cleanest hole, do the following:
1.
Use an end mill.
2.
Mill from the Crown Nut side.
3.
When milling the hole, back out and clean the mill flutes frequently (every ¼” depth).
4.
Chill down the end mill before milling each hole.
To install the cable(s), unscrew the Crown Nut and remove the Split Insert. Slide the cable connector through
the hole in the Crown Nut, then through the hole in the Cable Gland body. Join the two sides of the Split
Insert around the cable and press the Split Insert back into the Cable Gland body. Tighten the Crown Nut
back on the body.
And you are finished! You should now have a liquid tight seal around the cable without having to remove
or replace the cable connector.
Note: For bulkhead installations, drill or punch the following mounting hole sizes:
PG16:
23.5mm (0.93”)
Can use a 15/16
” drill
PG21:
29.3mm (1.15”)
Can use a 1 3/16
” drill
PG29:
38.0mm (1.50”)
Can use a 1 1/2” drill
PG36:
48.0mm (1.89”)
Can use a 1 15/16
” drill
Note:
When cutting holes in the PG16 Split Insert, an end mill is recommended. Drills work poorly in this size.
