Water resistant glands are critical component used to guard wires and cables from the water, dust. A few common problems may occur when you are installing these glands but knowing how to prevent them can help make your job easier and safer. One such common cause is im-proper tightening of the gland. If it is too loose, water can seep in and do damage. Otherwise, if too tight, will break the gland or the cable. To prevent this, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure you strip the right amount to allow the tooling to tighten down on the water tight cable gland tight enough so that it will not move but not tight enough to press hard onto the cable.
A good type for outdoor use is the nylon waterproof gland. The nylon is a very strong plastic that can be exposed to the outdoor elements throughout the year. This is why many people use nylon glands from HongXiang for outdoor applications, they last long and are good on the wires.

Another type of metal explosion-proof glands are those that are either made of stainless steel or brass and are therefore very sturdy. Metal glands would be a good choice if you had to safeguard against the possibility of harm and bad weather since they can withstand physical impacts and the like much better than plastic. However, they weigh more and, in some instances, are more expensive than watertight cable glands marine.

Then, see the rubber part of the gland, the seal or ring. It may also be that you have lost the “Seal” of your product, which can happen if the seal is old, cracked, or dirty. If the seal is bad, the gland will not be able to hold water out. Just a little water and some gentle cleaning with a soft cloth should be enough to clean the seal. If the seal is torn or very damaged, you may have to get a new seal from HongXiang to replace it. Make the gland work as before again.
