Double-cable CU entry glands?

very_pointy_ears · 14 Jul 2020

For some reason notifications for updates on this thread stopped being emailed to me so I didn't realise that people were replying. Sorry, I would have replied sooner if I'd realised.

I think I'm going to have to drill my own cable entry holes as the NMX CU (I already have all of the RCBOs) has 20mm knockouts at the top, whereas it looks like I'm going to need 25mm ones for these double-entry glands.

Thank you everyone for your replies so far.

I can't remember the make, but the ones SBS sell include twin entry in a number of sizes.

I haven't used any for ages, but I have had Wiska stuffing glands (pre-18th Ed.) with an insert for T&E.

Yeah your right they have been around ages, Neweys also done there own range but at fiver each not many used them.

Though the Op wants ones to take TWO cables (Hence the TWIN ) in each, which till now i was not aware existed

No, it's http://sbstradesales.co.uk - but it looks like the site is under reconstruction at the moment. He's also trade only.
But the ones he sells are from Remora, see this page for the flat-form glands. They do 2x2.5mm² in a 25mm gland, in 20mm glands you have 2x1.0-1.5mm² or 1x2.5mm².
