Electrical cable gland embodying sealing arrangement

摘要

A cable gland having two parts interconnected by a screw thread through which moisture may conceivably enter is provided. The screw threaded connection is between two parts of the cable gland and a skirt is sealed to the one part on one side of the outer end of the screw threads and sealingly engages a circular sealing surface on the cable gland part on the other side of the outer end of the screw threads. The skirt may be flexible and resilient itself or may be rigid with a sealing ring co-operating between it and the circular surface.
