    Black cable gland with a PG13.5 thread, compression nut and seal. It seals one round cable with an outer diameter of 6–12 mm – heavier power cables, typically 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² (three-phase motors, pumps, sub-boards). Protection IP68 (EN 60529), thread length 9 mm.

  • Product description

    Cable gland with nut and seal | PG13.5 | for cable Ø6–12 mm | black | IP68 | ES-PG13.5B

    ES-PG13.5B is a black cable gland with a PG13.5 thread, compression nut and seal. It is screwed into a PG13.5 hole in an enclosure or panel, tightened by hand and finished with a spanner. The seal grips one round cable with an outer diameter of 6–12 mm and closes the gap between the cable and the enclosure.

    Key point:
    PG13.5 is the size for three-phase cables: the Ø6–12 mm range covers most 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² cables, with a 20.4 mm thread outer diameter. It is the widest range among the ES-PG7…ES-PG13.5 sizes. The black version is often chosen for dark enclosures, machines and equipment.

    How it works

    Installation. With the power off, the gland is screwed into the PG13.5 hole, then the cable is passed through the loosened nut and seal.

    Operation. The nut is tightened by hand and finished with a spanner – the seal is compressed evenly around the Ø6–12 mm cable sheath and holds the cable at the same time.

    Result. A sealed IP68 entry (EN 60529): dust-tight and intended for continuous immersion – the exact IP68 test conditions (depth and duration) are defined by the manufacturer.

    Why choose ES-PG13.5B?
    For a three-phase motor, pump or sub-board – one IP68 entry whose Ø6–12 mm range suits both a thinner and a thicker cable.

    Main functions

    • IP68 sealing – protection against dust and continuous immersion (EN 60529).
    • PG13.5 thread – thread outer diameter 20.4 mm, thread length 9 mm.
    • Range Ø6–12 mm – heavier power cables, typically 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² (three-phase motors, pumps, sub-boards).
    • Nut with seal – seals and holds the cable, reducing pull on the terminals.
    • Simple tightening – by hand, finished with a spanner, no special tools.
    • Black colour – matches dark enclosures, machines and equipment.

    Where is it used?

    • Connection boxes of three-phase motors and pumps
    • Supply entries of sub-boards and distribution boards
    • Entries of compressors, ventilation units and heat pumps
    • Control panels of production equipment
    • Outdoor distribution boxes and construction site boards
    • Control boxes of pumping stations and wastewater treatment plants
    • Power supply of equipment in agricultural buildings

    Use by need

    For control panel builders.
    Outgoing feeds to motors and pumps are often run in 5-core cables – the Ø6–12 mm range covers most of them.
    For electricians.
    The wide range means the same gland works for both 5×1.5 and 5×2.5 mm² cables – less risk of arriving with the wrong size.
    For facility managers.
    In pumping stations and plant rooms, IP68 entries on three-phase equipment reduce the risk of moisture-related faults.

    Practical application

    If you are connecting a heat pump outdoor unit fed by a 5×2.5 mm² cable with a measured outer diameter of 11 mm, ES-PG13.5B is the right size: the cable sits within the Ø6–12 mm range, and once the nut is tightened by hand and finished with a spanner the entry is sealed and the cable held.

    Pros

    • IP68 to EN 60529 – higher protection than the IP67 series
    • Clear Ø6–12 mm range for one PG13.5 size
    • The nut seals and holds the cable at the same time
    • Tightened by hand and spanner – quick installation
    • CE, SGS, RoHS – according to supplier data
    • The same size is also available in grey – ES-PG13.5

    Cons / limitations

    • Limited range: for a cable thinner than 6 mm choose ES-PG11B (PG11, Ø5–10 mm), for one thicker than 12 mm – ES-PG16B (PG16, Ø10–14 mm).
    • One gland – one round cable; not suitable for flat cables or several wires.
    • Thread length 9 mm – may not be enough for a thick enclosure wall (especially with a locknut).
    • Material and operating temperature are not stated in our data – for special conditions (heat, chemicals, direct sunlight) confirm the parameters before ordering.
    • Not a fire barrier – does not replace cable penetrations through fire-rated walls.

    Safety and installation notes

    • Work in the panel or box only with the power off and absence of voltage verified.
    • After drilling or threading remove all swarf from the enclosure – it can cause a short circuit.
    • Drill a plain hole to the thread outer diameter of 20.4 mm – sealing is not ensured in an oversize hole.
    • Tighten the nut by hand, then with a spanner until the cable no longer moves in the seal; overtightening can damage the thread or seal.
    • Run the cable from below or with a drip loop so that water does not run along the cable to the entry.

    Quick selection guide

    PG13.5 thread (Ø 20.4 mm)
    Cable Ø6–12 mm
    IP68, thread length 9 mm
    Black – ES-PG13.5B
    Suitable when you need:
    • to seal one round cable Ø6–12 mm
    • an IP68 entry where flooding or long-term moisture is possible
    • the entry to match a dark enclosure or machine
    Check before use:
    • The cable outer diameter with a caliper – it must be 6–12 mm.
    • The hole: threaded PG13.5 or a plain Ø 20.4 mm hole (a locknut is then needed – check what is supplied) and whether the 9 mm thread is enough for the wall.
    • Operating conditions: material, operating temperature and IP68 immersion depth are not stated in our data.
    Important reminder: The gland seals and holds one cable, but it is not a fire barrier and does not replace the sealing of cable penetrations through fire-rated walls.

    FAQ

    Is ES-PG13.5B suitable for a 5×2.5 mm² cable?
    Usually yes, if the measured outer diameter is 6–12 mm; if it is larger, choose ES-PG16B (PG16, Ø10–14 mm).
    Why is it marked PG13.5 and not PG13?
    It is the standard DIN 40430 size designation: PG13.5 with a 20.4 mm thread outer diameter – do not confuse it with other sizes.
    What is the difference between ES-PG13.5B and ES-PG13.5?
    Only the colour: ES-PG13.5B is black, ES-PG13.5 is grey; thread, range and IP68 are the same, UV resistance is not stated, so choose the colour to suit the enclosure.
    Can PG-13.5B be used instead of ES-PG13.5B?
    Yes, where IP67 is enough and the cable fits the Ø6–12 mm range; where the entry may be under water for a long time, stay with IP68 – ES-PG13.5B or the grey 00841 (same size and range).
    What hole size is needed in the enclosure?
    For a threaded hole – a PG13.5 thread; a plain hole to the thread outer diameter of 20.4 mm, secured from inside with a locknut.
    Can two wires be passed through one gland?
    No – the seal only seals one round cable; use a separate gland for each cable.
