CABLE GLAND COMPONENTS

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION
1.

The A2FRC cable gland is suitable for all types of unarmoured cables, providing a flameproof

seal on the outer sheath of the cable. It also has a rotating female-threaded coupling at the

rear of the gland to allow the attachment of conduit.

This gland can also be used with braided cables where sealing is made on the cable outer

sheath and the braid is earthed inside the equipment when this arrangement is allowed by

the prevailing installation code of practice.

2. Seal

3. Skid Washer

4. Seal Nut

5. Conduit Coupling

There is no need to dismantle the cable gland prior to installation. Simply slacken the Seal

Nut (4) to relax the seal (2).

Pass the cable through the gland to the desired position, then tighten the seal nut by hand

until resistance is felt (when the seal contacts the cable). Tighten with a spanner one

further turn.

Determine the conductor length required to suit the installation and prepare the cable

accordingly, removing part of the outer sheath where required to reveal the insulated

conductors.

Fit the gland into the equipment and fully tighten the Entry Item (1).

Attach the conduit to the Conduit Coupler (5) and fully tighten. Ensure that the Seal Nut

(4) does not come loose during this process by holding it with a spanner.
