NPT Thread Cable Glands for North American Equipment

Equipment made for or imported from North America often arrives with NPT threads, which will not mix with metric or Pg parts. AP Technology supplies NPT thread cable glands in plastic and metallic versions for those entries, from UK stock. They are particularly useful for maintaining imported machinery and building export equipment. It is worth checking the thread size carefully before ordering, as tapered threads can look deceptively similar to others until you try to fit one. 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. The Bimed standard plastic series is one of the broadest ranges of IP68 polyamide cable glands available and is produced to EN 50262.

Metric glands run from M12 to M63, Pg from Pg7 to Pg48, NPT from 3/8 to 1 1/4 and Pf from 3/8 to 1, with reducing seal versions on most threads. Colours include grey, light grey, black, red, white and blue on metric and Pg ranges. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
