Shell. It is
recommended that a plastic thread locker be used on the sealing gland in order to prevent the
gland components loosening under extremes of temperature and humidity. Permatex Plastic
Threadlocker, #19920 and Loctite 4204 have been evaluated and approved for this purpose.
To use, apply a bead across both sets of male threads on the gland body. Rotate gland body
180 degrees and apply additional beads on opposite side.
Tighten down outer sealing gland nut to form a watertight seal on jacketed cable (See torque
requirements below). Assembly is complete (See Figure 10).
Torque requirements
- Cable Gland to housing: hand tighten until snug, tighten additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn with wrench
- Cable Gland Sealing Nut to cable: hand tighten until snug, tighten additional 1/2 - 3/4 turn
with wrench
