Metal cable glands are joints for wires and cables. They can connect cables and protect cables from falling out. There are some key points to note before and after the installation of metal cable glands, as follows:
Work before installing metal cable glands
1. Check whether the specifications of the joints and cables meet the requirements, confirm the cable specifications and models, and select the corresponding cable glands.
2. Check whether the cable sheath is damaged and whether the cable cores are neat. If there are any problems, they should be dealt with in time.
3. Confirm the installation position of the joint, check whether the installation position of the joint is flat, and whether the cable has enough length.
4. Prepare various tools and materials required for the installation of metal cable glands.
Specific installation steps of metal cable glands
1. Put the metal cable gland on the cable, pass the joint, and then tighten the joint fixing screws. Be careful not to overtighten to avoid damaging the cable. Pay attention to the direction of the joint during installation to avoid installation errors.
2. Apply sealant to the inside of the joint, ensure that the sealant is evenly applied, install the joint cover plate on the joint, and tighten the screws.
3. After confirming that the metal cable gland is installed correctly, conduct a leakage test to ensure the quality of installation.
In addition, it should be noted that the metal cable gland must be installed according to the correct steps. If there are special circumstances or if you are not sure about the installation method, you should ask a professional to install it. All operations should be based on safety first.
