GLAND SELECTION GUIDELINES
There are many factors to considered when selecting
cable glands for industrial installations. Neglecting to
give due attention to these factors could cause
unnecessary difficulties at a crucial point in time where
most inconvenience and expense can result. It is most
desirable to avoid discovering that, once all other
equipment is on site or installed, the glands have not
been ordered or are the wrong size or type.
Good practise would be to allocate some planning and
preparation time to cable gland selection. This will help
avoid the possible disruption which could result at a
critical point of the installation process. In the event of a
project schedule of cables being available Cleveland
Cable Company are happy to offer a gland selection and
sizing service. Please contact any of our depots for
further information or assistance.
Here is a summary of some aspects to carefully consider
when selecting cable glands.
• Identify the type of cable to be used.
• Check the construction, size and material properties
of the cable.
• Check the type and material of the cable armour(*)
• Check the short circuit fault current rating of the
cable armour(**)
• Check the actual diameter of the inner bedding
(where present) against this catalogue.
• Check the actual diameter of the lead covering (where
present) against this catalogue.
• Check the actual size of the overall cable diameter
against this catalogue.
• Check the size and type or armour or braid (where
present) against this catalogue.
• Check any special environmental requirements in
relation to corrosion protection
• Check the material of the mating electrical enclosures
to eliminate dis-similar metals.
• Consider whether any protective plating is required to
be applied to the cable gland.
• Check the type and size of the cable entry hole in the
mating electrical equipment.
• Check the ingress protection rating of the electrical
equipment or site standard.
• Check whether a single or double seal cable gland is
required.
• Check whether an entry thread seal is required for
IP66 (or IP67/IP68) conditions.
• Check whether fixing accessories such as locknuts
and serrated washers are required.
• Check whether earth tags are required. (**)
• Check whether shrouds are required.
• Select a corresponding cable gland type from this
catalogue.
• For installations in Hazardous Areas, special
considerations should be taken into account to ensure
compliance with national or international codes of
practice.
• Check whether a thread conversation adaptor or
reducer is required to make the installation.
• Select corresponding adaptors or reducers from this
catalogue.
• Check whether any stopper plugs are required to close
unused cable entries.
• Select corresponding stopper plugs from this
catalogue.
Note (*): If the cable armour is of a non standard
material, i.e. Aluminium Wire Armour, it may be
necessary to consider an alternative cable gland material,
e.g. Aluminium.
Note (**): For certain medium voltage and high voltage
cables where the fault current carrying capacity of the
cable armour is greater that that of the standard earth
tag it may be necessary to consider a cable gland utilising
the a heavy Cast Integral Earth Lug (CIEL) option which
can be identified in the body of this catalogue.
