Cable Glands for Electrical Contractors and Installers

Contractors need the right gland on site when the job is ready, not next week. AP Technology supplies a broad range of cable glands for electrical contractors and installers, across metric, Pg and NPT, from a UK stock holding. Plastic, brass, stainless steel and armoured options cover most of what comes up on commercial and industrial jobs. Scheduled or call-off orders can be set up for larger projects, so materials arrive in line with the different stages of the build. For potentially explosive areas, Bimed Ex proof glands are available in plastic and in nickel plated brass versions for armoured and non armoured cable, with ATEX approval to increased safety level e. Final selection should always be checked against the current certificate and the zoning of your installation. If nothing standard fits, bespoke glands can also be produced by modifying existing tools or by creating new tooling. Moving machine parts can be served by spiral glands in polyamide 6, which give IP68 protection up to 5 bar as well as additional protection against conductor damage.

Conduit is covered too, with metallic liquid tight fittings, UL tested to IP68, in straight and right angled versions, plus PVC conduit fittings for spiral PVC conduit in metric and Pg threads. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
