For ambient temperature maximum + 70 C and minimum - 25 C, at 50% relative humidity at 40 C or 100% at 25 C. Degree of protection according to IEC 60529 IP 66 / IP 67, Material: PA polyamide, flame resistant, self-extinguishing, halogen and silicon-free, Colour: black, RAL 9005 Make: HENSEL Type: KBS
Durable and Versatile ConstructionFabricated from high-grade polyamide or polycarbonate, these ventilation glands ensure resilience against harsh environmental factors and mechanical stresses. Their weatherproof and flame-retardant properties make them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, even in demanding industrial settings. The matte finish enhances durability and aesthetics alike.
Advanced Protection and ComplianceDesigned with a high-efficiency PTFE vent membrane and pre-fitted EPDM sealing washer, these glands deliver reliable IP66/IP67-rated dust and water ingress protection. Compliant with RoHS and free of halogens, they also offer overheating protection via continuous airflow-making them a secure choice for sensitive applications.
FAQ's of Combination Ventilation Glands (Black):
Q: How do I install Combination Ventilation Glands on my enclosure?
A: Install the gland by inserting its threaded section into the enclosure entry point, securing it with a screw or lock nut. The included EPDM washer ensures a watertight seal. Ensure the cable diameter matches the gland size range (4 mm to 38 mm) and tighten to the specified torque (3-5 Nm, depending on size).
Q: What are the main benefits of using PTFE vent membranes in these glands?
A: PTFE vent membranes provide high airflow to prevent overheating while offering superior resistance to dust and water ingress. They are also chemically inert, withstanding exposure to acids, bases, oils, and alcohols, making them ideal for demanding applications.
Q: When should these ventilation glands be used over standard cable glands?
A: Choose these glands when both cable management and effective ventilation are required-such as in electrical panel boxes, electronic equipment, and outdoor enclosures. Their IP66/IP67 rating and robust environmental resistance ensure reliable protection under harsh conditions.
Q: Where can these glands be typically applied in an industrial environment?
A: These ventilation glands are commonly used in control panels, junction boxes, electronic devices, and outdoor equipment enclosures where both dust/water protection and proper airflow are essential. Their versatility makes them suitable for diverse industrial and commercial use.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct metric thread size?
A: Match the cable diameter and enclosure thread entry with the available metric sizes (M12 to M50). Choose a gland that accommodates your cable's outer diameter and ensures a snug, secure fit. Check the product dimensions and torque specifications for optimal installation.
Q: Are these glands reusable, and do they maintain protection after repeated use?
A: Yes, these glands are designed to be reusable. Their robust construction and high-quality materials ensure that, when correctly reinstalled, they consistently deliver reliable sealing and ventilation performance over multiple usage cycles.
