Brief Description

The KUB type Compound-filled cable gland is for outdoor use in the appropriate Hazardous Areas with pliable wire/ steel wire/ steel tape armoured,

braided, screened and un-armoured cable. A variant giving electrical continuity to a lead sheath is available. It gives environmental protection to IP66,

IP68 and Deluge. A termination suitable for EMC protection can be made using armoured cables with this gland.

Warning

PLEASE STUDY CAREFULLY BOTH PAGES OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION. These glands should not be used in any

application other than those mentioned here or in our Data Sheets, unless Weidmuller states in writing that the product is suitable for such application.

Weidmuller can take no responsibility for any damage, injury or other consequential loss caused where the glands are not installed or used according to

these instructions. This leaflet is not intended to offer advice on the selection of cable glands. Further guidance can be found in the standards listed

overleaf.

STEP-BY-STEP FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Split gland as shown. Warning. The entry body of this cable gland is coated with a releasing agent to ensure the compound form can be inspected after curing. The

entry body should not be treated with any lubricant or be exposed to any solvents. The internal bore of the entry body must not be damaged. Any handling during the

course of normal installation will not effect the operation of the releasing agent.

2 Fit Entry Body. Hand-tighten, then suitably secure with a wrench.

3 Slide Back Nut, Mid Cap and Clamp onto cable as shown

4 CABLE PREPARATION Strip off outer jacket, length to suit installation

For armoured cable:- A Cut armour. For approximate exposed lengths see Table 1 column 4

B Where sheath sizes are near minimum, form armour to facilitate clamping (arrow A)

For all cables:- C Remove inner sheath, length to suit installation. Lead sheath must be cut to push through the continuity washer. Remove protective

foils, and any cords/fillers from around and between the cores. Take care not to cut the insulating sleeves of the cores. Pigtail and sleeve

screens to be passed through compound

5 Slide Cone onto inner sheath and under armour. For lead sheath push through the continuity washer ensuring contact is made. Slide Clamp onto exposed armour.

6 Insert cable through Entry Body and engage Cone in Entry Body

7 To clamp armour onto Cone, hand-tighten Mid Cap to Entry Body, then using wrench tighten a further 1 turn. Cable with maximum diameter wire armour may

require an additional ½ to 1 turn

8 Unscrew Mid Cap to visually check armour is securely clamped. Pull out cable and Cone. If armour has not clamped repeat the clamping process.

9 Check compound has not passed its "Use By" date. Installation at temperatures below 10° C should be avoided. Trim any hardened pieces from ends of stick

10 Mix the compound by rolling, folding and breaking. Ease mixing by cutting large sticks in half. Fully mixed compound has a uniform yellow colour with no streaks See

Figure 1 for correctly mixed compound.

11 Support the cable and rear gland assembly. With unarmoured cable, hold Cone and cable roughly concentric. Splay out the cores. Starting at the middle, pack small

amounts of rolled-out compound between the cores. Re-straighten each core and work outwards until all gaps are filled. Bundle the cores with cord or tape (see

Figure 2) so they are not disturbed. Pack around the outside of the outer cores to fill the Cone cup. Build up compound around the outside of the cores with a slight

taper and to approximate compound length shown in diagram and Table 1 column 11.

12 Pass cores through & push compound into Entry Body until Cone engages. Remove squeezed out compound at arrow B. For thickest armour: Screw Mid Cap 7 full
