From cable gland to rubber grommet
A rubber grommet offers a quicker installation than a cable gland, costs less and no need for tools for installation. Our rubber grommets can handle a larger cable span and the installation will be sealed prior to and after cable installation without the need for any plugs. There are several reasons why so many installers choose a rubber grommet instead of a plastic cable gland when you want to seal your installation from dust and water.
| 1. |
More resistant to weather, UV-light and ozone – less inclined to dry up, crack and come lose.
|
| 2. |
More resistant to acids (Phosphoric, Saltpeter, Hydrochloric & Sulphuric). |
| |
|
| 3. |
Handles larger temperature span than most glands. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Quick and easy installation from one side only — no locknut to screw on from the other side. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Ideal where space is restricted - less protrusion and space needed. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Ergonomically better, no negative effect on wrists since it does not need to be screwed into place. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Superior to cable gland up to IP67, except where strain relief is at a premium. Less work and time needed for installation compared to a cable gland - thus lower installation cost. |
| |
|
| 8. |
The opening is always sealed until the membrane is pushed out – no need for stop plugs or blind plugs, which will reduce costs. |
| |
|
| 9. |
More economic solution. |
