    Waterproof Cable Entry, Secure Strain Relief & British Parallel Thread Compatibility

    G thread nylon cable glands provide waterproof cable entry and secure cable gripping for electrical enclosures, machinery and equipment with BSPP threaded connections.

    Manufactured with PA66 nylon bodies and NBR sealing components, they are available in multiple G thread sizes for industrial installation, equipment maintenance and replacement applications.

    BSPP Parallel Thread for Precise Installation

    G threads follow ISO 228-1 (BSPP), a British parallel pipe thread system. They are designed for compatible G-threaded equipment entries and are not interchangeable with NPT, metric or PG threads. Unlike tapered pipe threads, G threads require an appropriate sealing interface, such as a gasket or O-ring, to seal the enclosure entry.

    IP68 Cable Sealing & Strain Relief

    The compression seal grips the cable jacket, helping prevent water and dust ingress while reducing cable movement at the entry point. Correct cable diameter, panel sealing and tightening are essential for achieving the specified IP protection.

    Standard & Reduced Clamping Ranges

    Both standard and reduced-range (T) models are available. Reduced-range versions accommodate smaller cable diameters while retaining the same G thread size, allowing greater flexibility for equipment installation and maintenance.

    Typical Applications

    • Electrical Cabinets: Sealed cable entries for control panels and junction boxes.
    • Industrial Machinery: Cable fastening at equipment housings with G-threaded entries.
    • Instrumentation: Cable entries for sensors and measurement equipment.
    • Equipment Maintenance: Replacement of existing BSPP-threaded cable glands.
    • Industrial Utilities: Cable entry protection for pumps, HVAC equipment and control systems using compatible G threads.

    Choose the Correct G Cable Gland

    For proper selection, confirm the G thread size, cable outside diameter, clamping range, thread length, panel sealing requirements and installation environment.

    Custom colors and packaging are available according to order requirements.

    Important: PG, M, NPT and G threads are not directly interchangeable. Select the cable gland according to the actual enclosure thread, cable outside diameter and sealing requirements. IP protection depends on the complete gland assembly and correct installation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is a G thread cable gland?

    A G thread cable gland uses a British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP) thread according to ISO 228-1. It provides cable sealing and gripping for compatible electrical equipment entries.

    2. What is the difference between G and NPT cable glands?

    G threads are parallel with a 55° thread angle, while NPT threads are tapered with a 60° angle. They are not interchangeable.

    3. Does a G thread provide a waterproof seal by itself?

    No. An appropriate gasket or O-ring is required at the enclosure entry, together with a correctly installed cable compression seal.

    4. What is the difference between G1/2 and G1/2T?

    Both use the same G1/2 mounting thread. The standard version fits 6–12 mm cables, while the T version fits 5–9 mm cables.

    5. Can G thread cable glands replace metric or PG cable glands?

    Not directly. The thread dimensions and profiles are different. Use a compatible thread adapter when required.
