Distinguish the entry thread from the cable sealing range
PG and metric cable glands are identified by different thread systems. Thread size alone does not establish the cable diameter that a gland can seal. Send the enclosure entry, measured cable outside diameter and installation conditions for a quotation.
What to include in the quotation request
Selection input | Send with your RFQ | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Entry thread | Give PG or metric designation and thread details. | Do not substitute one thread system simply because the opening looks similar. |
Cable diameter | Provide the measured cable outside diameter and required clamp range. | Use the selected gland series’ stated sealing range. |
Material and environment | Specify material, temperature and required ingress protection. | Check the complete installed gland arrangement and accessories. |
Accessories | List locknut, sealing washer, reducer or adapter where required. | Confirm included accessories and their compatibility. |

Questions about PG & Metric Cable Glands
What should I check before selecting PG & metric cable glands?
PG and metric thread designations are not interchangeable. An IP rating applies to the specified assembled entry, not every gland of the same nominal size.
What information is needed to quote PG & metric cable glands?
Provide PG or metric thread and pitch; actual cable outer diameter; polyamide/metal material, retention and sealing requirement; locknut, seal, thread length and enclosure wall. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
Does PG thread size give the correct gland for a cable size in mm²?
No. Conductor cross-section and cable outside diameter are different measurements. Match the entry thread and the gland’s sealing range to the actual enclosure and cable.
