Stainless Steel Cable Glands: SS304 & SS316
Stainless steel cable glands for industrial cable entry. SS304 is the standard material; SS316 is available to order. IP68 protection requires the correct cable fit and installation.
- Body material: SS304 as standard; SS316 available to order. Confirm suitability for the actual chemical exposure and operating conditions.
- Supplied sealing component: O-ring for the enclosure interface. Confirm locknut requirements when ordering.
- Protection: IP68 with the correct sealing insert, cable fit, O-ring and installation. High-pressure or hot-water cleaning requires separate confirmation.
- Superior Thermal & Impact Strength: Unlike nylon, these metallic glands resist cracking and structural failure in extreme temperatures and high-impact industrial zones.
- Factory-Direct Bulk Supply: As a professional manufacturer, we provide wholesale quantities with full material traceability (MTR) for critical engineering projects
Choose the Right Stainless Steel Cable Gland
Use these stainless steel cable glands for cable entry into industrial enclosures and control panels. SS304 is the standard body material; SS316 is available to order. Select the material for the actual environment rather than the industry name alone.
For chemical exposure, provide the medium, concentration, temperature and duration of contact. Confirm compatibility of both the metal body and sealing components. Stainless steel does not provide universal resistance to acids or chlorides.
The supplied O-ring seals the enclosure interface when installed on a suitable surface. Match the sealing range to the actual cable outside diameter and confirm the mounting thread, panel thickness and locknut requirements. IP68 does not by itself establish suitability for high-pressure washdown, CIP cleaning or sterilization.

FAQs
SS304/SS316 Material Specifications
The standard body material is SS304; SS316 is available to order. Specify the required grade in your inquiry and purchase order.
These metallic cord grips are equipped with high-temperature silicone or EPDM internal seals.
Check the selected sealing configuration against the cable, operating temperature and any cleaning chemicals before approval.
Anti-Corrosion Stainless Connector Benefits
Choose stainless steel by the actual service conditions. Acids, chlorides, temperature and contact with other metals can affect corrosion performance; stainless steel is not immune to corrosion.
For chemical-processing or coastal applications, provide the exposure conditions for review before ordering. Confirm the maintenance and inspection requirements for your installation.
