INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CMP CABLE GLAND TYPE C2K

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION

1. Slacken the Outer Seal Assembly (5), but do not remove it from the Body (4). Seperate the gland

components by removing the Body (4) and the Outer Seal Assembly (5) as one unit. (Note that the

Reversible Armour Cone (2) and AnyWay Clamping Ring (3) are loose items). Pass the Body (4), Outer

Seal Assembly (5) and AnyWay Clamping Ring (3) over the cable, Outer Seal Assembly (5) first.

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

Expose the braid or armour further so that it can be formed around the armour cone by cutting back

the outer sheath by a length “L”. This length varies slightly depending upon the cable diameter, but

typical values are

shown below.

3. Secure the Entry Component (1) to the equipment by tightening with a spanner.

4. Locate the Reversible Armour Cone (2) in the Entry Component (1). Stepped side outwards for

SWA, grooved side outwards for all other cable types. Pass the cable through the Cone (2) and

Entry Component (1), evenly spacing the braid or armour around the Cone (2).

5. While continuing to gently push the cable forward to keep the braid or armour in contact with

the Cone (2), tighten the Body (4) first by hand and then with a spanner until the Body (4) is fully

tightened onto the Entry Component (1) and no threads are visible.

6. Tighten the Outer Seal Nut Assembly (5) until it comes to an effective stop.

This will occur when:-

The Outer Seal Nut Assembly (5) has clearly engaged the cable and cannot be further

tightened without the use of excessive force by the installer.

The Outer Seal Nut Assembly (5) has been fully tightened. (This will only happen if

the cable is at the bottom end of the range for the gland).

For Guidance:- The Outer Seal Assembly (5) is correctly fitted when it has been tightened until the

seal touches the

cable sheath and

then tightened a

further one turn

using a spanner.
