NewTaper-Tech ® brass compression cable gland Pratley recently launched its Taper-Tech ® brass compression cable gland for circular unarmoured cable.TheTaper-Tech ® clamping sys- tem features a differential taper design. Using specially-formulat- ed, high-performance, compression-set resistant rubber, the grip- ping force of the bush increases proportionally with the axial load on the cable. This means that the cable remains safely secured, and undamaged, even at very high pull-out loads. Another major advantage of the Taper-Tech ® brass compression cable gland is its industry-beating IP68 ingress protection rating, which can withstand a water head pressure of 150 m. “We believe there is no other cable gland that performs to this level on the world market,” says Pratley marketing director, Eldon Kruger. The Taper-Tech ® compression cable glands are manufactured from nickel-plated brass. They can accommodate all circular ca- bles with outside diameters from 3 mm to 73.8 mm, in addition to an array of non-circular cables when fitted with appropriate bushes. The glands are supplied complete with nipple gaskets and nickel-plated brass locknuts. The IP68 rating means that the Pratley Taper-Tech ® brass com- pression cable glands seal the bore automatically against the in- gress of pressurised water and ambient moisture. In addition, gland sizes 00, 0, 1 and 2 are available ex-stock with Pg and Npt threads. Pg and Imperial threads can also be accommodated by means of Pratley adjustable cable glands fitted with com-

pression conversion kits and thread adaptors. Exceptionally thick gland plates can be accommodated by fitting adjustable glands with long nipples. With over 65 years’ experience and a substantial portfolio of patents under its belt, Pratley prides itself on the local produc- tion of highly innovative cable glands, junction boxes, and related accessories. Variants for use in hazardous locations comply with international IECex Standards for Ex n, Ex e and Ex d explosion protected equipment. Many Pratley cable glands and boxes also comply with the European ATEX directive. The Pratley group of companies is known for its innovative prod- uct developments serving the manufacturing, mining, construction and petrochemical sectors in many countries.
