How do I choose the correct size of brass cable gland for my cable?

The selection of the proper BRASS CABLE GLANDS size is a must if safe, reliable, and long-lasting cable installations are to be achieved. The initial step in this process is to measure the outer diameter of the cable instead of just the conductor size. Cable glands are picked based on the whole diameter of the cable since this will determine sealing, strain relief, and protection from dust and moisture. Always check the manufacturer’s size chart for matching the cable diameter with the corresponding gland size.

Then think about what kind of cable you are using. Glands for armored and unarmored cables are different in design and size. For armored cables, the gland should properly fit the armor layer while providing good grounding. The gland’s thread size is also a key consideration because it needs to match the entry hole of the enclosure or equipment, be it metric, PG, NPT, or BSP.

Environmental factors are also important when selecting the gland. In outdoor or severe industrial areas, the right size picks will ensure the proper compression and thus preserve the installation's IP rating. Choosing the wrong size might result in fittings being loose, sealing being poor, or the cable getting damaged.
