Gland Accessories

Gland accessories are complementary parts such as nuts, blind plugs, gaskets, O-rings, washers and plugs that secure the cable gland to the enclosure, provide sealing at the thread root and close unused entries. In enclosure and box manufacturing they are used to connect the gland to an unthreaded hole, close the remaining empty holes, pass more than one cable through a single gland or preserve the IP rating of the entry. This group is divided into subcategories: polyamide and nickel-plated brass blind plugs and nuts, multi-hole gland gaskets, O-ring gaskets, flat washers and gland plugs. Most of the products are Ortaç brand; Gwest and Isıso models are also listed among the polyamide blind plugs, and Isıso models among the polyamide nuts. Choose the accessory in the same thread type and size as the gland (metric or PG), in a material compatible with the gland body, and in a way that does not compromise the IP rating targeted at the entry. Pairing nickel-plated brass with a metal gland, and a polyamide nut and blind plug with a polyamide gland, is common practice.
