How the revolutionary Earthing Nut can help speed up cable gland installations.Earthing Nuts are a relatively new product on the market, which claim to speed up and change the way you terminate and earth metal cable glands. We have to say at first, we were a little hesitant, but now we can truly see the benefits of this great product. Traditionally when terminating a cable gland you would use a banjo earth tag and lock nut. The Earthing Nut now replaces these products and provides some real benefits.Product benefits:
No extra drilling is required for the installation, which on average saves 60% of time, and furthermore does not compromise the IP enclosure rating.
Improved safety during fitting and service
Fitted exactly right the first time
Unique cutting teeth bite into the box wall so that the gland can be tightened with one tool from the outside
Teeth provide voltage equalizing connection
Earth Nuts enable a high integrity connection for protective earthing
A grub screw secures the nut to the gland ensuring continuity, even if the enclosure gets damaged.
It is also important to note that the Earthing Nut was awarded winner at the Electrical Industry Awards in 2010 for most innovative power product.Earthing Nuts have now been integrated into packs of cable glands that can be found at most electrical wholesalers.
