LOCKNUTS

CMP polyamide and nickel-plated brass locknuts have been specifically designed for the TruSeal range to secure the cable gland into non-threaded
enclosures. Cable glands can be purchased with or without locknuts depending on specific needs and are available with metric or NPT threads.

ENTRY THREAD SEALS

To maintain the Ingress Protection rating between the equipment and the cable gland, it may be necessary to fit an approved entry thread sealing washer at the equipment-to-gland entry interface.

The need for a sealing washer will depend on the ingress protection rating, code of protection of the equipment and the type of entry holes available within that equipment. For example, when using Ex e equipment or terminal enclosures (which are permitted to have untapped through-clearance holes) it will be necessary to fit a sealing washer to ensure the minimum IP54 requirement is met. Other equipment with tapped entry holes may not require a sealing washer to maintain the IP54 minimum rating.

CMP recommends using TruSeal approved entry thread sealing washers for all installations where an IP rating of IP55-69K is required; these are provided as standard with all polymer TruSeal cable glands.

0-RING INTERFACE SEALS

For the TruSeal metallic range an O-ring interface seal is provided as standard negating the need for an entry thread sealing washer. O-rings are rated IP66-69K.

Other optional accessories are available from CMP. These can be ordered with the gland or separately if required using the order references in the table below.
