Wiska Clixx Cable Gland Alternative

[Damian30]

Hi,

I have a IP66 rotary isolator with a 20mm rear knockout.

I was exploring options to enter via this knockout whilst maintaining the IP rating. Obviously a cable gland is a standard option, although that would require a bit more room being drilled into the brick to enable the gland to fit.

I';ve come across this Wiska product which is IP66/67 and looks like it needs minimal space: http://www.wiska.co.uk/pic/upload/WISKA-CLIXX-en.pdf

Does anyone have any experience of this product or any alternative views?

Many thanks,

Damian

Why do you require to enter from the rear of the box and through wall?

Not essential, just thought it would be a neater solution as the cable is coming from a fused spur on the inside of the wall.

Appreciate if a bottom knock out is used, there is no chance of water ingress.

Only useable if you are using ROUND cable. But any stuffing gland will work for bottom entry (oh, Matron!).

But rear entry should not be a problem. Ensure entry point is properly silicone sealed and you drill a drain hole in the bottom of the enclosure.
