CABLE GLAND COMPONENTS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION

1. Separate the gland into two sub-assemblies, A and B, by unscrewing the body (2) from the entry

item (1). Note that items (4) and (5) are loose items.

2. Prepare the cable by stripping back the cable outer sheath and armour to suit the equipment

geometry. Expose the braid by stripping back the outer sheath further using the table below as a

guide.

3. Secure the entry components (sub-assembly A) into the equipment. (Not for remote installation)

Pass the sub-assembly B and AnyWay clamping ring (5) over the cable, outer seal first.

Insert the armour cone (4) in the sub-assembly B:

4. Pass the cable through sub-assembly A, spacing the braid evenly around the cone. Whilst

continuing to push the cable forward to keep the cable braid in contact with the cone, tighten the

compensating sleeve (3) into the entry component (1) until all the threads are used. (Note that the

internal compensator will prevent the cable gland inner seal from being over-tightened onto the

cable inner sheath.)

5. Terminate the cable by tightening the body (2) onto the entry component (1) using a spanner on

each part. Tighten the body until the body and entry components are metal to metal and cannot

be tightened further.

6. Tighten the outer seal nut (6) until it comes to an effective stop. This will occur when:-

A) The outer seal nut (6) has clearly engaged the cable and cannot be further tightened

without the use of excessive force by the installer.

B) The outer seal nut (6) is metal to metal with the body of the gland (2).
