Dimensions listed are for cable glands with metric equipment entry threads only. Alternative entry thread types e.g. NPT are available; dimensions may vary.
Part numbers listed are for nickel plated brass cable glands only. Alternative materials are available. ‡ Also available in M16 on request.
For material options, please change the ‘material suffix’, which is the first digit in the ‘ordering suffix’. Brass = 0, Stainless Steel = 4 and Nickel Plated Brass = 5.
Examples: 20TU002 = Brass M20, 40TU405 = Stainless Steel M40.
For NPT thread options, please change the second digit in the ‘ordering suffix’ to 3 (denotes NPT) and change the final digit to denote the thread size i.e. ½” = 31, ¾” = 32, 1” = 33, 1-1/4” = 34,
1-1/2” = 35, 2” = 36, 2-1/2” = 37, 3” = 38, 3-1-2” = 39, 4” = 310, 5” = 312. Examples: 32TU533 = Nickel Plated Brass 1” NPT, 50TU436 = Stainless Steel 2” NPT.
Sizes 90-130 are provided with a reversible armour cone. The ‘X’ side clamps 0.8 – 1.6 mm and the ‘W’ side clamps 3.15 – 4.0 mm.

Electrical Safety in the Work Place

Local codes of practice or regulations may be in force to ensure that safety is maintained to eliminate the possibility of accidents arising from the danger of electricity. These dangers would include electric shock, burns, fire, explosion and arcing. In the United Kingdom the ESQCR 2002, and amendments 2006 (S.I. No. 1521) and 2009 (S.I. No. 639), introduced under Statutory Instrument No. 2665, and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAW Regulations), which came into force on 1 April 1990, comprehensively deal with this subject.

EMC Performance

Tests were carried out in an anechoic chamber using various CMP cable glands with a section of cable connected to it which would act as an aerial. A known electrical radiation source was used to introduce interference into the chamber, and the level of radiation in the cable shield was measured.
