Cable Gland Brass
Cable Gland Brass
BrassCable Glands are
precision-engineered mechanical fittings used to securely terminate and seal
the ends of electrical cables entering equipment or enclosures. Made from
high-quality brass, these glands provide excellent mechanical
strength, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and durability,
making them ideal for industrial, hazardous, and outdoor applications. Brass
cable glands are available in various thread types (metric, PG, NPT, BSP),
sizes, and sealing options to accommodate armoured, unarmoured, and flexible
cable types. They are widely used in power distribution, automation, and
instrumentation systems to ensure safe and reliable cable management.
Top 10 FAQs of Cable Gland Brass
- What is a brass cable gland?
A brass cable gland is a mechanical device used to secure, seal, and
terminate electrical cables into enclosures, providing strain relief
and environmental protection.
- What are the standard sizes
of brass cable glands?
They range from M10 to M100 (metric sizes) and equivalent in PG,
BSP, or NPT threads.
- Can brass cable glands be
used outdoors?
Yes, especially when nickel-plated or used with IP-rated sealing,
they are ideal for outdoor and harsh environments.
- What is the difference
between armoured and unarmoured brass glands?
Armoured glands (e.g., BW, CW types) include additional mechanical
grip and earthing features, while unarmoured glands (e.g., A2
types) are simpler and used with flexible or soft cables.
- Are brass cable glands
waterproof?
Yes, when fitted with appropriate IP66/IP67/IP68-rated sealing kits,
they provide waterproof and dustproof protection.
- Is nickel plating important
for brass glands?
Nickel plating enhances corrosion resistance, especially in marine
or chemically exposed environments.
- What standards do brass
cable glands comply with?
Most comply with IEC 62444, BS 6121, and EN 50262 standards for
industrial cable glands.
- Can brass glands be used in
hazardous zones?
Yes, flameproof/ex-proof certified brass glands are available for ATEX
and IECEx-rated environments.
- Are accessories like
locknuts and washers included?
Typically, these are sold separately, though some suppliers include
them as part of the gland kit.
- What industries use brass
cable glands?
Industries include oil & gas, electrical panels, automation,
marine, mining, railways, and construction.
