Installation Guide for GHX Cable Gland Connector
Follow these simple steps for a secure and reliable installation of your GHX waterproof nylon cable gland:
Prepare the Enclosure Hole and Cable Ensure the hole in your enclosure matches the gland thread size (Metric, PG, or NPT). Clean any debris and measure the cable diameter to pick the right gland size.
Disassemble Gland Components Unscrew the sealing nut and remove any locknuts or sealing gaskets. This makes it easier to slide the cable through each part.
Insert Cable and Tighten Sealing Nut Feed the cable through the gland components. Position the cable properly to ensure the sealing surfaces align. Tighten the sealing nut by hand or with minimal tools to compress the gasket and form a watertight seal.
Secure Gland to Panel with Locknut From inside the enclosure, screw on the locknut to firmly fix the gland in place. This keeps the cable gland from loosening under vibration or strain.
Torque Recommendations and Common Mistakes to Avoid
Use the recommended torque values found in the specifications to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the gland or cable.
Do not skip the sealing gasket or locknut—both are crucial for IP68-rated waterproof protection.
Avoid using damaged or worn components to maintain the gland’s durability and strain relief.
