❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size hole should I drill for this gland?
A: Use an 11.5 mm (≈ 0.45 in) hole, matching the PG-7 thread diameter.
Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes — the nylon body and rubber seal are designed to resist moisture and sunlight exposure, making it ideal for outdoor sensor boxes.
Q: Can I use it for multiple wires?
A: It’s best for one cable per gland to maintain waterproof integrity. For multiple wires, use multiple glands or a multi-entry connector.
Q: Does it work with metal enclosures?
A: Yes, as long as the enclosure has the proper PG-7 hole size and the locknut can be tightened securely inside.
