UK Where to find Imperial sized MICC Pyro Cable Glands?

MetricImperial · Apr 14, 2025

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know where I can get some 465 Cable Glands for mineral insulated cable? Cable diameter is 15/32 of an inch.
The cable was installed in 1959, is in good condition but needs some alteration. I have found 2 electricians who can do the work but have better things to do with their time than try to locate Imperial sized glands.
I have tried several UK companies and TPCwire in the USA but still no luck.
Many thanks in advance.

It wants leaving well alone unless this has been authorised and discussed with the DNO. Something goes wrong and there is every chance it will do you are going to have a whole load of expense coming your way because they will not repair that cable, they will replace it.

OK thanks, I will discuss this with the electricians. They have both said I need to prepare for it not going as planned. One way or another, it has to be changed as the current situation of the cables running floor to ceiling through the middle of the room is untenable.
