Gland Plugs

A gland plug is a protective plug that is fitted into the cable entry of a watertight gland that has been installed in an enclosure but has no cable run through it yet, preventing dust from entering through the gland. It is used to keep the entry closed until the cable is fitted, on spare glands and at enclosure, box and machine entries where the cable will be run later. In this group, Ortaç plugs are offered by gland body sizes such as PG 7 - M 12, PG 11 - M 16, PG 16 - M 20, PG 21 - M 25 and PG 36 - M 40; the product name lists the PG and metric gland that the same plug fits together. Choose a gland plug by the body size of the gland it will be fitted to, the cable entry diameter of the gland and its compatibility with the gland brand. When the cable is to be run, the plug is removed and the same gland continues to be used. A gland plug closes the cable entry of the gland; it is not a blind plug that closes the empty threaded hole in the enclosure.
