Loosening has four mechanisms, not one: transverse vibration, thermal cycling, plastic creep and assembly error. Each needs a different fix, and in a hazardous area some fixes are not allowed at all.

PG13.5 is not 13.5 mm across. The number refers to nominal bore, so the thread measures 20.4 mm and needs a 20.4 to 20.6 mm hole. This guide covers the dimensions, the M20 confusion and how to identify an unknown thread.

M25 is the size people arrive at after an M20 range failure. This guide gives the published dimensions, the 25 to 25.2 mm hole, and the four sizes that share the same 10 to 14 mm cable band.

M20 is the most mis-ordered cable gland thread in the world. This guide gives the published dimensions, the 20 to 20.2 mm hole, the 6 to 12 mm cable range and the thread length arithmetic, then compares M20 with M22, M25 and PG13.5.
