Secure Your Connections with a Waterproof Cable Gland

A waterproof cable gland is an essential component in any electrical or instrumentation installation, designed to securely attach and connect electrical cables to equipment while providing a critical seal against water, dust, and other contaminants. More than just a simple connector, a high-quality sealed wire connector delivers vital strain relief, preventing pulling and twisting forces from damaging electrical terminations inside enclosures, control panels, and junction boxes. This ensures both operational safety and long-term reliability for your outdoor and washdown systems.

Key Features of Our Waterproof Cable Glands

  • Superior Sealing (IP68): Our IP68 cable glands are rated to be dust-tight and can withstand prolonged immersion in water, providing the ultimate protection for sensitive equipment.
  • Robust Construction: Available in high-quality materials like corrosion-resistant brass, durable nylon, and 316 stainless steel for harsh environments.
  • Effective Strain Relief: This crucial feature of a reliable waterproof cord grip anchors the cable mechanically to absorb forces and vibrations, preventing stress on electrical connections.
  • Wide Compatibility: Designed to accommodate a vast range of cable diameters and types, including armored, braided, and standard plastic cables.
  • Easy Installation: A simple locking nut and seal design allows for quick, tool-free installation, saving time on the job site.
  • Temperature & Chemical Resistance: Engineered to perform reliably in extreme temperatures and resist degradation from oils, solvents, and UV exposure.

Applications for Weatherproof Cable Glands

Our weatherproof cable glands are versatile solutions used across countless industries to ensure safety and reliability in demanding conditions:

  • Industrial Control Panels and PLC Cabinets located outdoors or in damp environments
  • Marine and Offshore Equipment exposed to saltwater and weather
  • Food & Beverage Processing Plants requiring washdown compliance (using stainless steel models)
  • Outdoor Lighting, Security Systems, and HVAC Units
  • Manufacturing and Automation Equipment in dusty or humid areas

Choosing the Right Waterproof Cable Gland

Selecting the correct electrical sealing gland is crucial for achieving a perfect seal. Consider these factors:

  • Cable Type & Diameter: Measure your cable’s outer diameter accurately to choose the correct waterproof gland size.
  • Material: Choose nylon cable gland for general use, brass for corrosion resistance, or stainless steel for harsh, corrosive, or washdown environments.
  • Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: Ensure the gland’s IP rating (e.g., IP68 for submersion) matches the environmental protection required.
  • Thread Type: Ensure the gland’s thread (e.g., M20, M25, 3/4″ NPT) matches the entry point on your enclosure or device.
