Installation Instructions for Wilmall Watertight Cable Gland

Step-by-Step Installation Guide with Torque Values

Installing your Wilmall watertight cable gland correctly ensures a reliable, long-lasting waterproof seal. Follow these steps for best results:

1. Prepare the Cable
   Strip the cable jacket carefully to the required length, exposing the conductor without damaging the insulation.
2. Select the Right Gland and Thread
   Verify the gland size matches your cable diameter and thread type (PG, Metric, NPT).
3. Insert the Cable
   Pass the cable through the gland body and compression seal.
4. Tighten the Gland
   Screw the gland nut firmly onto the body. Use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten according to the gland’s specified torque values (typically between 10-20 Nm depending on size). This compression seals the cable and ensures IP67/IP68 protection.
5. Secure to Bulkhead or Equipment
   Attach the gland securely to your panel or enclosure using the appropriate locknut or sealing washer for a dustproof and watertight fit.

Optimal Seal Tips and Common Mistakes

• Avoid Over-tightening: Excessive torque can crack the compression seal or damage the cable.
• Clean Surfaces: Make sure both cable and gland surfaces are free from dirt or oils for maximum seal integrity.
• Check Cable Diameter: Using a gland too large or too small will compromise the waterproof seal.
• Inspect After Installation: Confirm the cable is firmly gripped and the gland is flush with the enclosure.

Necessary Tools

• Torque wrench with adjustable Nm settings
• Cable stripper suitable for your cable type
• Spanner or adjustable wrench matching gland size
• Cleaning cloth or alcohol wipes to prep surfaces

Following these simple installation steps and tips helps the Wilmall watertight cable gland maintain its robust waterproofing and strain relief capabilities, making it ideal for harsh outdoor or industrial environments.
