Glands & Connectors

The red colour identifies fire alarm and safety wiring. The Haydon HAY-FRG10 glands are finished in RAL 3020 red and suit panel entries, junction boxes and enclosures where a red, identifiable fire gland is specified. They have an M20 thread, a Nylon 66 body with an NBR sealing ring, and self-extinguishing 94V-2 material.

It is a cover that fits over a cable gland to protect the gland and cable entry and give fire cabling a neat finish. The Haydon HAY-FRSH shrouds are red for fire identification and come 10 to a pack. They are an accessory, not a fire-stopping product, so check the fit against your gland size before fitting.

It depends on the gland: a gland is made for a set range of cable diameters, and the gland should match the cable's outer diameter and the enclosure hole. The Knightsbridge JB006 IP66 M20 glands take cables of 6-12mm diameter and suit 20mm knockouts. The Haydon HAY-FRG10 glands have an M20 male thread with a 10 mm thread length, and both come in packs of 10.

A lighting connector joins lighting circuit cables in one housing, with terminals that make loop-in loop-out wiring between fittings easier. The Knightsbridge SN4P is a 20A 4-pin push-fit connector for 1.5mm² to 2.5mm² cables, with a see-through cover for cable inspection and an earth terminal, and it suits emergency lighting installations. It comes in packs of 20.

A cable gland routes and seals a cable where it passes through a panel, junction box or enclosure wall. The Haydon HAY-FRG10 has a Nylon 66 body with an NBR rubber sealing ring and an operating range of −40 °C to +100 °C, and the Knightsbridge JB006 is an IP66 M20 gland for indoor or outdoor use that fits 20mm knockouts.
