Eight cable-gland families
Choose a cable gland by material or application
Start with the body material, or choose a design for screened cable, armour, hazardous areas or marine equipment.
Nylon Cable GlandsLightweight cable glands in straight, angled, flexible, long-thread and multi-hole forms.
Brass Cable GlandsMetal cable glands with standard, angled, long-thread, multi-hole and bend-protection forms.
Stainless Steel Cable GlandsStainless-steel glands for sealed cable entries on outdoor and process equipment.
EMC Cable GlandsEMC glands connect the cable screen to the enclosure while holding and sealing the cable.
Explosion-Protected Cable GlandsCable-entry designs for armoured and unarmoured cables on hazardous-area equipment.
Armoured Cable GlandsGlands that grip cable armour and seal the cable at the equipment entry.
Marine Cable GlandsMetal cable glands for shipboard wiring, including TJ and TH dimensional series.
Hose and Conduit FittingsStraight and angled fittings for connecting conduit to boxes, enclosures and other conduit sections.Cable-entry interfaces
How to choose a cable gland
Start with cable diameter and entry thread, then choose the seal and body material for the installation.
- 01
Measure the cable
Measure the outside diameter. For armoured or screened cable, also identify the armour or screen and the diameter where the gland makes contact.
- 02
Match the entry
Read the thread size and pitch, or measure the clearance hole. Check wall thickness and room for the locknut and spanner.
- 03
Choose the body and seal
Use materials suited to the temperature, chemicals and weather around the equipment. Add any EMC, armour-clamping or hazardous-area requirement.
- 04
Check the fit
Compare the cable range, usable thread length and body dimensions. For a replacement, a model marking or photo is a useful starting point.
Materials & entry threads
Nylon, brass or stainless steel?
Choose the body material for the environment and the thread for the enclosure opening.
Body materials
Nickel-plated brass
Metal cable entries for cabinets and industrial equipment.
Check the plating, seal material and any earthing or screen-contact requirement.Stainless steel
Metal glands for outdoor and process-equipment cable entries.
Specify the steel grade and seal materials for the chemicals and cleaning process involved.Entry thread systems
Metric
Parallel threads identified by M size and pitch, such as M20 × 1.5.
PG
A separate thread system often found on older equipment. PG and metric sizes are not interchangeable.
NPT
Tapered pipe threads. Use the matching NPT entry and the specified thread-sealing method.
G (BSP/PF)
Parallel pipe threads, also labelled BSPP or PF. Check the face seal and mounting arrangement.
Applications
Cable entry across cabinets, machines and field equipment.
Browse gland constructions used with control cabinets, machinery, outdoor equipment, screened instrumentation, armoured cable and shipboard entries.
Control cabinets
Secure power and signal cables through cabinet walls or gland plates.
Machines and automation
Use straight or angled entries to route cables around the machine and leave room for servicing.
Outdoor equipment
Seal cable entries into housings exposed to rain and dust. Select the body and seals for the local environment.
Screened instrumentation
Connect the cable screen to the enclosure with a gland designed for screen contact.
Armoured power cables
Clamp the armour and seal the bedding or outer sheath at the equipment entry.
Marine and hazardous areas
Choose the cable-entry construction required by the vessel or hazardous-area equipment specification.

Cable Glands FAQ
Cable gland questions
Find answers about cable size, thread selection and installation.
01How do I choose the correct cable-gland size?
Measure the cable outside diameter and choose a sealing range that includes it. Then match the enclosure thread or hole and check the usable thread length.
02Can the entry thread alone identify a cable gland?
No. Glands with the same thread can have different cable ranges, seals, materials and clamping designs. Both the cable and the enclosure entry must fit.
03Are Metric, PG, NPT and G threads interchangeable?
No. Their diameters, pitches and thread forms differ. NPT is tapered; Metric, PG and G are parallel. Use the mating thread designation rather than choosing by a similar nominal size.
04When is an EMC cable gland needed?
Use an EMC gland when the cable screen needs to connect to the enclosure at the entry. Match its screen contact to the cable construction and screen diameter.
05Which dimensions matter for an armoured cable gland?
Check the armour type and diameter, bedding diameter and outer-sheath diameter, as well as the entry thread. These dimensions describe the surfaces the gland clamps and seals.
06Does a gland keep its IP rating with any cable?
No. The cable must be within the sealing range, and the seals and enclosure connection must be assembled as instructed. The rating applies under the stated test conditions.
07What is needed for hazardous-area use?
The specific gland, cable and equipment entry must meet the installation requirements. Check the certificate and instructions for the protection concept, cable construction and conditions of use.
08Can you help identify a replacement gland?
Send a model marking or photo. Cable diameter, entry thread and the installation environment help us narrow the choice; a drawing is useful if you have one.
