Description
HMI Brass Cable Gland 35mm (1-3/8”) – Single & Double Compression
The HMI Cable Gland 35mm (1-3/8″) is an industrial cable-entry solution available in Single Compression SC035 and Double Compression DC035 configurations. HMI specifies these glands in nickel-plated brass with a BSC (British Standard Conduit) entry thread. The correct configuration should be selected according to the cable construction, actual outer diameter, armour arrangement and installation requirements.
The 35mm designation identifies the gland size; it should not automatically be treated as the cable’s actual outside diameter. Cable gland selection should be based on the actual cable OD and the applicable manufacturer specifications.
For engineers and procurement teams, this distinction is important because cables having the same conductor size can have different finished outside diameters due to differences in insulation, bedding, armour and outer sheath?

HMI 35mm Single Compression Cable Gland – SC035
The HMI SC035 is the Single Compression version of the 35mm HMI cable-gland range.
According to HMI, its Single Compression Cable Glands are designed for indoor or outdoor cable-gland applications with armoured or unarmoured cables. Their function is to grip the outer sheath of the cable. HMI specifies nickel-plated brass construction and BSC entry thread.

Which HMI 35mm Cable Gland Should You Choose?
The choice between SC035 and DC035 should be based on the cable and installation rather than simply choosing the same nominal size.
Choose HMI SC035 when:
- Single Compression is specified.
- The cable is armoured or unarmoured.
- The cable construction is compatible with the gland.
- The cable OD falls within the applicable manufacturer’s range.
- The required entry thread matches the gland.
Choose HMI DC035 when:
- Double Compression is specified.
- The cable is armoured.
- Armour clamping is required.
- Inner and outer sheath sealing is required by the installation.
- Cable OD and armour dimensions are compatible with the gland.
HMI specifically distinguishes its Single and Double Compression ranges based on their application and sealing/armour functions.

How to Select the Correct HMI 35mm Cable Gland
Do not select the HMI 35mm cable gland only from the cable’s conductor size in sq.mm.
Check these factors before ordering:
- Actual cable outer diameter (OD)
- Armoured or unarmoured construction
- Single or Double Compression
- Cable armour dimensions, where applicable
- Gland entry/thread
- Enclosure entry
- Installation environment
- Required ingress protection
- Manufacturer/project specification
- Required accessories
Thunderbolt’s cable-gland sizing guide also states that cable gland selection should be based on the actual cable OD because cable construction and manufacturer specifications can change the finished diameter.
Important: 35mm Gland Does Not Mean 35mm Cable OD
A 35mm (1-3/8″) HMI cable gland should not automatically be interpreted as a gland for every cable measuring exactly 35mm outside diameter.
Always compare the actual cable OD with the relevant manufacturer’s sealing and dimensional information.

FAQ – HMI Brass Cable Gland 35mm
I have focused these FAQs on the most useful buyer/search-intent questions around 35mm cable glands, cable OD, Single vs Double Compression, armoured cables, thread and product selection. Current HMI documentation confirms SC035 and DC035, while broader cable-gland search material repeatedly emphasizes cable OD and construction rather than nominal gland size alone.
1. What is an HMI Cable Gland 35mm?
The HMI Cable Gland 35mm (1-3/8″) is available as SC035 Single Compression and DC035 Double Compression. HMI specifies nickel-plated brass construction and BSC entry thread for these ranges.
2. What is HMI SC035?
HMI SC035 is a 35mm (1-3/8″) Single Compression Cable Gland. HMI specifies its Single Compression range for indoor or outdoor applications involving armoured or unarmoured cables, with the gland gripping the outer sheath.
3. What is HMI DC035?
HMI DC035 is a 35mm (1-3/8″) Double Compression Cable Gland. HMI specifies the Double Compression range for armoured cables, with the gland sealing/gripping the inner and outer sheath and the cone and ring clamping the armour.
4. What is the difference between HMI SC035 and DC035?
SC035 is Single Compression, while DC035 is Double Compression. SC035 is listed for armoured/unarmoured cables and grips the outer sheath. DC035 is listed for armoured cables and provides inner/outer sheath sealing together with armour clamping.
5. Is HMI 35mm cable gland suitable for armoured cable?
Yes. HMI lists SC035 for armoured/unarmoured cables and DC035 for armoured cables. The correct variant should still be verified against the cable construction, OD and installation requirements.
6. Can HMI SC035 be used for an unarmoured cable?
HMI specifies its Single Compression range for armoured/unarmoured cables, so SC035 can be considered where the cable dimensions and installation requirements are compatible.
7. Can HMI DC035 be used for an unarmoured cable?
HMI specifies its Double Compression range for armoured cables. Therefore, DC035 should not be selected for an unarmoured cable simply because its nominal 35mm size appears suitable.
8. Does a 35mm cable gland fit a 35mm cable?
Not necessarily. 35mm is the gland-size designation, not a universal cable-OD specification. Check the actual cable OD against the applicable HMI dimensional and sealing requirements before ordering.
9. Should I select an HMI 35mm gland according to cable sq.mm?
No. Cable conductor size alone is insufficient. You should check the actual cable OD, cable construction, armour and gland type. Thunderbolt’s cable-gland guide specifically advises selecting the gland using actual cable OD.
10. What material is HMI 35mm cable gland made from?
HMI specifies nickel-plated brass for its Single Compression and Double Compression cable-gland ranges.
11. What thread does HMI 35mm cable gland use?
HMI specifies BSC (British Standard Conduit) entry thread for its Single Compression and Double Compression ranges.
12. Is HMI 35mm cable gland suitable for outdoor applications?
HMI describes both its Single Compression and Double Compression ranges as suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. The complete installation should still be checked for cable construction, sealing requirements, enclosure entry and required ingress protection.
13. Which is better: Single Compression or Double Compression?
Neither is automatically better. The correct type depends on the cable construction and installation requirements. HMI lists Single Compression for armoured/unarmoured cables and Double Compression for armoured cables.
14. What information should I provide when ordering an HMI 35mm cable gland?
Provide:
- SC035 or DC035 requirement
- Cable type
- Actual cable OD
- Armoured/unarmoured status
- Armour dimensions, if applicable
- Required thread
- Quantity
- Application
This gives the supplier enough information to check the correct configuration instead of relying only on “35mm cable gland.”
15. Can I order HMI 35mm cable glands in bulk?
Yes. For project or bulk procurement, provide the required SC035/DC035 variant, quantity, cable details and application so availability and product suitability can be checked.
