How do I properly install the HAWA 1008235 5m cable gland in a conduit?

To properly install the HAWA 1008235 5m cable gland in a conduit, follow these steps:

1. Measure and mark the location of the cable gland on the conduit where you want to install it. Make sure that there is enough clearance for the cable entry and that the gland is located in an area with easy access for future maintenance. Clean the threaded portion of the conduit and the inside of the gland nut using a clean cloth or wire brush. This will help ensure a proper seal between the gland and the conduit. Apply a small amount of thread locking compound to the threads of the conduit. This will help prevent the gland from backing out over time due to vibration or movement. Insert the cable into the gland body, making sure that it is properly aligned with the centerline of the conduit. Use a cable puller or other suitable tool to gently draw the cable through the gland and into the conduit. Tighten the gland nut by hand until it is snug against the conduit, but do not overtighten. This will help ensure that the gland forms a proper seal without damaging the cable or the conduit. Use a torque wrench to tighten the gland nut an additional ¼ to ½ turn. This will help ensure that the gland is properly secured and provides a reliable seal against moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. Verify the integrity of the seal by checking for any signs of leakage or water ingress around the cable gland. If you notice any issues with the seal, remove the gland nut and repeat the installation process as necessary. Record the torque value used during installation and keep it in a safe and easily accessible location for future reference. This will help ensure that the gland is properly secured and sealed over time, even as environmental conditions change or the cable experiences movement due to expansion or contraction.
