Heat Shrink Cable Gland Shroud - Adhesive Lined (GHSS)

About Heat Shrink Cable Gland Shroud - Adhesive Lined (GHSS)

A mechanical cable gland grips and seals the cable inside the enclosure wall, but the joint between gland body and cable sheath is still exposed to rain, wash-down water, dust and corrosive atmospheres. Gala's heat-shrink shroud (code GHSS) covers that joint.

The shroud is a tube of cross-linked polyolefin, internally coated with hot-melt adhesive. It is slid onto the cable before the gland is made off, then pulled over the gland body and heat-shrunk. As it shrinks it grips both the gland and the cable sheath, and the adhesive melts into the gaps to give a watertight seal at the cable entry. It also gives strain relief at the point where the cable leaves the gland, and resists weathering, UV, chemicals and solvents; the material is carbon-black filled for UV protection.

Eight sizes run from 22 to 95 mm supplied inside diameter, recovering to 6 to 25 mm, with recovered walls of 2.3 to 3.0 mm. Choose the size whose supplied diameter passes over the gland body and whose recovered diameter is smaller than the cable sheath. Custom diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths and colours are available on request. The shroud shrinks at 125 deg C and is rated for continuous use from -40 deg C to +110 deg C.

Manufactured by Gala in India. Datasheet and size selection on request.
