Cable glands

[haj]

Hi Guys
I have a home easy remote control box to fit which gives you four remote controlled outputs the only problem is that the entry points are 35mm so am finding it hard to get glands that size that are not too big for my 2.5mm toughflex any ideas? Homeasy.co.Uk for the remote if anyone wants a look.

Are you sure the box doesn’t have incremental sized knockouts. 32mm is big for a box. If it doesn’t then you’re going to have to get conduit reducers.

Sorry try this link.The box does not have knockouts just those stepped rubber bung sort of things.

Those type of boxes are designed to literally "self-seal". You cut a smaller hole than the cable and by "forcing" it in, in theory it provides basic IP protection. If it's inside then that should be ok. personally I would not want to use this type of box for any damp enviroment.

Outdoors I wouldn’t trust those seals as far as I could throw them. Don’t use any of the top entries, there’re an open invitation for water ingress.

I agree about the top ones looks like i shall just have to use the bottom three for now!!
