Description
Dowells Brass Cable Gland 32mm (1-1/4″) – Single/Double Compression
The Dowells Brass Cable Gland 32mm (1-1/4″) is an industrial brass cable-entry solution available in Single Compression and Double Compression configurations. It is intended for compatible electrical and industrial cable-entry applications where the gland must be correctly matched to the cable construction, outside diameter and installation requirements.
An important selection point is that 32mm / 1-1/4″ is the nominal gland designation and should not automatically be treated as the cable’s outside diameter. Dowells’ published technical data identifies DGP10008 as the 32mm / 1-1/4″ Single Compression gland and specifies 27.1–31.0 mm as its suitable cable-diameter range.

1. Dowells 32mm (1-1/4″) Single Compression Cable Gland
The Dowells 32mm Single Compression Cable Gland is identified by product code DGP10008. Dowells’ technical brochure specifies a suitable cable diameter of 27.1–31.0 mm for this product.
This makes the actual cable outside diameter an essential purchasing parameter. A cable’s conductor size in sq.mm does not by itself determine which gland will fit because insulation, sheath and overall cable construction can change the finished cable diameter.
Single Compression Specifications
| Specification | Dowells 32mm Single Compression |

Dowells’ 2026 price-list information also identifies DGP10008 as the 32mm / 1-1/4″ Single Compression gland.
2. Dowells 32mm (1-1/4″) Double Compression Cable Gland
The Double Compression version requires more careful product selection than simply matching the nominal 32mm designation.
Dowells publishes different Double Compression ranges for different cable constructions. For example, its current documentation includes separate selections for armoured and unarmoured applications, with the appropriate model determined by the actual cable diameter and construction.
Therefore, a single universal cable-OD range should not be assigned to every product described as a “32mm Double Compression Cable Gland.”
Double Compression Specifications

Dowells’ current documentation distinguishes its Double Compression ranges according to application/cable construction, so the exact model should be verified before ordering.
Does 32mm Mean the Cable OD Is 32mm?
No.
This is one of the most important points for the product page.
The Dowells DGP10008 32mm / 1-1/4″ Single Compression Cable Gland has a published suitable cable-diameter range of 27.1–31.0 mm.
Therefore, buyers should not assume:
32mm gland = 32mm cable OD.
Instead, selection should follow:
Actual cable OD → cable construction → Single/Double Compression → thread → application requirements.

How to Choose the Correct Dowells 32mm Cable Gland
Before ordering a Dowells Brass Cable Gland 32mm, check the following:
1. Measure the actual cable OD
Use the cable manufacturer’s datasheet or measure the finished cable outside diameter.
2. Identify the cable construction
Determine whether the cable is:
- Armoured
- Unarmoured
- Single-core
- Multicore
- Power cable
- Control cable
- Other specialised construction
3. Choose Single or Double Compression
The required configuration depends on the cable and installation.
4. Confirm the thread
The nominal 32mm designation should not be used as the only basis for thread selection.
5. Match the manufacturer selection chart
For DGP10008 Single Compression, Dowells specifies 27.1–31.0 mm cable diameter.
6. Consider the installation environment
Check project specifications for sealing, environmental exposure and enclosure requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Dowells Brass Cable Gland 32mm (1-1/4″)?
It is a Dowells brass Cable Gland identified by the nominal 32mm / 1-1/4″ size. The Dowells Single Compression version is DGP10008.
2. What cable diameter fits a Dowells 32mm Single Compression gland?
Dowells specifies 27.1–31.0 mm suitable cable diameter for DGP10008.
3. Does a 32mm Cable Gland fit a 32mm cable?
Not necessarily. The 32mm designation is the nominal gland size. For DGP10008, the published suitable cable diameter is 27.1–31.0 mm.
4. What is the difference between Single Compression and Double Compression Cable Glands?
They are different gland configurations with different selection considerations. Double Compression selection is particularly dependent on cable construction and whether the cable is armoured or unarmoured.
5. Can I choose a 32mm Cable Gland based only on cable sq.mm?
No. Conductor cross-sectional area alone does not establish the required gland size. The finished cable outside diameter is a critical selection parameter.
6. Is a Dowells 32mm Cable Gland suitable for armoured cable?
The appropriate answer depends on the exact gland configuration. For an armoured cable, select the applicable Dowells Double Compression model according to the cable’s actual OD and construction.
7. How do I select a Dowells 32mm Double Compression gland?
Check:
- Cable OD
- Armoured or unarmoured construction
- Required compression configuration
- Thread requirement
- Installation environment
- Project specification
Then match these details with the appropriate Dowells selection table.
8. Why is cable OD more important than the cable’s sq.mm rating?
Because the gland grips/seals around the cable’s physical construction. Insulation, sheath, armour and other construction details can change the final outside diameter even when conductor size is known.
9. What thread should I use for a Dowells 32mm Cable Gland?
Confirm the thread of the specific gland model and match it to the equipment/cable-entry requirement. Do not infer every thread specification from the nominal 32mm designation.
10. Can the same 32mm Cable Gland be used for every cable?
No. The appropriate gland depends on cable OD, cable construction, armour, configuration and thread. Dowells’ own technical chart demonstrates that different nominal glands correspond to different cable-diameter ranges.
11. Where can I buy Dowells 32mm Cable Glands in India?
Thunderbolt Electromech India Pvt. Ltd. supplies industrial electrical products including Dowells Cable Glands. For project or bulk requirements, provide the cable OD, cable type, required configuration and quantity so the appropriate gland can be checked.
