Description
Key Applications
-
Corrosion Shielding: Large brass glands are susceptible to “verdigris” (green oxidation) in damp environments. The shroud keeps the metal dry and prevents the threads from seizing.
-
Earthing Security: For Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables, the 35mm shroud ensures the earth tag (banjo) and the armor clamping area remain free from moisture, preventing high-resistance faults in the grounding system.
-
Environmental Sealing: It acts as an umbrella for the gland, helping the assembly maintain an IP66 rating by diverting water away from the entry point of the enclosure.
Technical Specifications
-
Compatibility: Fits M35 metric glands, 1 ½” ET industrial glands, or PG29 (large-body) glands.
-
Materials:
-
Standard PVC (Black): UV-resistant and flexible; the standard for outdoor industrial sites.1
-
LSF (Low Smoke and Fume): Often grey or white; mandatory for indoor use in “high-traffic” areas like hospitals, airports, or tunnels to prevent toxic smoke in a fire.
-
-
Temperature Rating: Generally stable from -60°C to +90°C.
Installation Challenges at 35mm
As the shroud size increases, the material becomes significantly thicker and harder to manipulate.
| Step | Technique |
|  Softening | Essential: Soak the shroud in a bucket of hot water for 2–3 minutes. Cold PVC at this thickness is almost impossible to stretch over a 35mm hex-nut. |
| Â Trimming | Use a sharp utility knife to cut the tapered end. Ensure the hole is roughly 2mm smaller than your cable diameter to create a tight “stretch-fit” seal. |
| Order | Ensure the order on the cable is: Shroud > Gland Nut > Compression Ring > Gland Body. You cannot put the shroud on once the cable is terminated. |
