  1. Gland shoulder

    The shoulder provides a seating surface at the enclosure. Check the gasket and mating land before the shoulder reaches its stop.

  2. Wrench flats

    Opposing flats provide a controlled tool interface. Use the specified tool and distinguish the mounting body from the compression nut.

  3. Long-thread gland

    Extra thread can accommodate a thicker mounting interface. Overall reach still includes unusable transitions and clearance requirements.

  4. Right-angle glandThis term

    An angled construction redirects the cable route. Check the actual bend space and support rather than forcing the cable around the body.

  5. Swivel adaptor

    The joint permits the specified orientation adjustment. Movement, locking, sealing and bonding duties require confirmation.

  6. Swivel cable gland

    A swivelling entry changes cable orientation. Confirm whether rotation is for installation only or also permitted in service.

Thread reach, tool contact and routing geometry must be checked independently. Rotating a swivel or using an angled gland changes the assembly envelope and support requirements.

Conceptual outlines without installation dimensions. Confirm usable thread length, tool clearance and any permitted swivel motion from the actual model.
