Cable gland simplifies installation & maintains IP68 rating
Hylec-APL has announced that its recently-patented Kwik Fix range of cable glands features a locking mechanism that requires access from one side of the panel only, without special tools, yet still achieves IP68 sealing. Kwik Fix cable glands also have a wide -20 to +100ºC operating temperature range so they suit many applications and conditions.
Installation is a simple three-step process. First, the gland’s base is inserted through the entry with its mounting foot placed up against the internal wall. An external locking nut, turned anti-clockwise, secures the gland in place and forms the IP68 seal. The cable can then be installed in the normal manner, with the cap nut tightening in the conventional clockwise direction.
Mark Severn, Director of Sales, Hylec-APL, comments: “Previously, when faced with restricted interior or rear access, installers have been forced to use products that do not guarantee the seal. Also they often required special tools. Our Kwik Fix cable glands are easily installed and removed from one side only making installation and maintenance much simpler and reducing costs. More these glands take up less space, leaving more room for wiring etc.”
