Flexible Cable – It is always better to use cable
glands with fl exible cable, with the gland connected
at the bottom, rather than through the top.
Ensure sealing washers are used with all connections
and all glands and connections are done up
tightly with a spanner to ensure water tightness.
SWA Glands – SWA glands can be used but must
be IP rated. The IP rating for the SWA gland
guarantees only the connections to the SWA cable.
You will still need a nylon sealing washer to
maintain the IP rating from the gland to the switch
housing back box. As a general rule, nylon washers
work best with this type of application. Rubber
washers can deform when used with metal glands.
Connections must be done up tightly with a
spanner to ensure water tightness.
