Cable Glands — Materials, Types & Specifications
A cable gland secures the cable entry point into an enclosure, junction box, or control panel — providing strain relief, environmental sealing, and in many cases earthing continuity. Flowwell Components supplies cable glands across a full range of materials, thread types, and IP ratings to suit any industrial application.
Materials available:
Brass (Nickel-Plated) Properties: Robust, thermally conductive, excellent corrosion resistance, highly durable. Typical applications: Industrial control panels, machinery, electrical enclosures, marine.
Stainless Steel Properties: Superior corrosion and chemical resistance, ideal for aggressive environments. Typical applications: Offshore, oil & gas, food processing, pharmaceutical, coastal installations.
Nylon (Polyamide) Properties: Lightweight, electrically non-conductive, cost-effective, corrosion-proof. Typical applications: Telecommunications, automation, general electrical installations, instrumentation.
Cable types supported:
- Armoured cable glands — with locking ring to terminate and earth the cable armour
- Non-armoured cable glands — for standard single and multicore cables
- EMC cable glands — electromagnetic shielding for sensitive equipment
- Explosion-proof / Ex-rated glands — for ATEX and hazardous area installations [confirm if stocked]
Thread types available:
- Metric (M16, M20, M25, M32, M40, M50, M63)
- PG (Panzer-Gewinde) thread
- NPT (National Pipe Tapered) [confirm if available]
IP ratings:
- IP67 — protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre
- IP68 — protected against continuous immersion, suitable for subsea and wet environments

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IP67 and IP68 rated cable glands? IP67 means the gland is protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. IP68 provides protection against continuous immersion beyond 1 metre, making it suitable for permanently wet or subsea applications. We can advise which rating is appropriate for your installation.
What is the difference between a brass and stainless steel cable gland? Brass (usually nickel-plated) is the standard choice for most industrial applications — robust, thermally conductive, and cost-effective. Stainless steel offers superior resistance to chemicals, salt water, and aggressive cleaning agents, making it the preferred choice for offshore, marine, food processing, and pharmaceutical environments.
Do you supply cable glands for armoured cable? Yes. We supply cable glands specifically designed for steel wire armoured (SWA) and other armoured cable types, with the correct locking ring to terminate and earth the armour layer securely.
What thread sizes do you stock? We stock cable glands in standard metric thread sizes (M16 through to M63) and PG thread variants. Contact us if you need a size or thread type not listed — we source to specification.
Can I order small quantities or do you require a minimum order? We cater to both small project quantities and large-volume orders. There is no unreasonable minimum — contact us to discuss your requirements.
Do you supply cable glands internationally? Yes. Flowwell Components ships to customers across multiple continents. Contact us for international shipping options and lead times.
