Brass Wiping Glands

Brass Wiping Glands

A Brass Wiping Gland is a heavy-duty cable gland designed for use with armoured cables in hazardous and industrial environments. It provides mechanical cable retention, earth continuity, and environmental sealing through a sealing compound (wiping compound) around the cable bedding. Manufactured from high-quality brass, it offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable protection against dust, moisture, and harsh operating conditions.

  • Application :  For use with SWA cables and plastic or rubber sheathed cables.
  • Design features : BS6121: part 1 :1989
  • Material : Brass
  • Finish : Natural brass

Description

A1 and A2 Industrial Cable Glands are high-performance cable entry devices designed to securely terminate and seal unarmoured cables entering electrical equipment, junction boxes, control panels, and enclosures. Manufactured from premium materials such as brass, nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, or nylon, these glands provide excellent mechanical retention, environmental protection, and long-term reliability in demanding industrial applications.

The A1 type gland is designed to provide mechanical cable retention by clamping the outer sheath of unarmoured cables, while the A2 type gland incorporates additional sealing features, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where protection against dust, moisture, and environmental contaminants is required.

These cable glands are widely used in power distribution, automation systems, telecommunications, renewable energy projects, manufacturing plants, marine installations, and process industries. Their robust construction ensures secure cable management, strain relief, and maintenance of enclosure ingress protection (IP) ratings, contributing to safe and reliable electrical installations.
