FAQs
Begin by selecting the correct armor and cable ranges (1.280"–1.610" armor, 1.380"–1.780" cable). Slip the gland over the cable, align with the enclosure opening, and thread securely onto a 1-1/2" NPT port. Tighten to the manufacturer’s torque spec, ensure the gasket seats, and perform a basic ingress test. This approach minimizes leaks and ensures a durable, code-compliant termination.
