Troubleshooting
Gland does not seal properly around the cable.
Ensure the cable's outer diameter is within the specified 5-12mm range. Tighten the gland's sealing ring firmly onto the cable sheath. Check for any debris on the cable or inside the gland's sealing area.
Difficulty screwing the gland into the mounting hole.
Verify that the mounting hole is prepared for a PG13.5 thread. Check for any obstructions or damage to the threads on the gland or the mounting surface. Ensure you are using the correct gland for the thread standard.
Gland appears loose or is not securely fastened.
Ensure the gland is fully screwed into the mounting thread. If using a locknut on the other side, confirm it is tightened appropriately. Re-tighten the gland itself, taking care not to overtighten and strip the threads.
Gland shows signs of corrosion or wear.
While nickel-plated brass is durable, prolonged exposure to specific aggressive chemicals may cause degradation. Inspect the gland and replace if significant corrosion or damage is observed to maintain IP rating and mechanical integrity.
