    Grey cable gland with a PG16 thread (10 mm long) and a compression nut. It seals one round cable with an outer diameter of 10–14 mm – e.g. 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² or 3×4–3×6 mm² power cables. Protection IP68 (EN 60529).

  • Product description

    Cable gland with nut and seal | PG16 | for cable Ø10–14 mm | grey | IP68 | ES-PG16

    ES-PG16 is a grey PG16 cable gland with a compression nut and seal. It is screwed into a PG16 threaded hole in an enclosure or panel and tightened by hand and with a spanner. When the nut is tightened, the seal grips one cable with an outer diameter of 10–14 mm and closes the gap between the cable and the enclosure.

    Key point:
    PG16 is intended for medium-size cables: the Ø10–14 mm range often matches 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² cables feeding sub-distribution boards, motors and industrial sockets (a guide only – the outer diameter decides). IP68 allows the entry to be used where water can stand for longer – in manholes, basements and outdoor equipment. The grey colour suits light grey panels and boxes, so the entry blends in with the enclosure.

    How it works

    Installation. With the power off, the gland is screwed into the PG16 hole and tightened by hand, then with a spanner; the cable is passed through the loosened nut.

    Operation. Turning the nut compresses the seal around the cable sheath – it fits evenly around the Ø10–14 mm cable and holds it at the same time.

    Result. A tight IP68 entry to EN 60529: dust stays out and the entry withstands continuous immersion under the conditions specified by the manufacturer.

    Why choose ES-PG16?
    One size covers common medium-size power cables, and the standard DIN 40430 thread (outer diameter 22.5 mm) fits typical PG16 holes in panels and boxes.

    Main functions

    • IP68 sealing – protection against dust and continuous immersion (EN 60529).
    • Cable retention – the tightened nut reduces pull on the terminals.
    • PG16 thread – for standard PG16 holes, thread outer diameter 22.5 mm.
    • Range Ø10–14 mm – e.g. 5×1.5–5×2.5 mm² or 3×4–3×6 mm² power cables.
    • Thread length 10 mm – wall thickness and room for a locknut can be checked in advance.
    • Grey colour – matches light grey panels and boxes.

    Where is it used?

    • Sub-distribution boards and junction boxes
    • Terminal boxes of pumps, fans and other motors
    • Industrial socket boxes
    • Supply boxes for outdoor lighting and yard equipment
    • Manholes and basements where the entry may end up under water
    • Installations in agricultural and warehouse buildings

    Use by need

    For motor and automation installers.
    A motor supply cable often falls within the Ø10–14 mm range, so the terminal box is sealed without extra bushings.
    For designers.
    The specification simply states PG16, for cable Ø10–14 mm, IP68 – easy to compare with the IP68 grey series 00858 (PG16, Ø10–14 mm).
    For facility managers.
    An IP68 entry on a basement or pump-station box reduces the risk of faults caused by moisture and standing water.

    Practical application

    If you are installing a junction box in a pump-station manhole and the pump cable has an outer diameter of about 12 mm, ES-PG16 is the right size: screw it into the PG16 hole, pass the cable through, tighten the nut by hand and then with a spanner until the cable no longer moves – the entry is protected to IP68.

    Pros

    • IP68 to EN 60529
    • Clear range Ø10–14 mm for one PG16 size
    • Thread length specified – 10 mm
    • Tightened by hand and with a standard spanner
    • CE, SGS, RoHS according to supplier data
    • Also available in the other colour – ES-PG16B (black)

    Cons / limitations

    • Limited range: for a cable thinner than Ø10 mm choose ES-PG13.5 (PG13.5, Ø6–12 mm), for one thicker than Ø14 mm – ES-PG19 (PG19, Ø12–15 mm).
    • One gland – one round cable; not suitable for a flat cable or several wires.
    • Material and operating temperature are not given in our data – check before buying for hot or chemically aggressive environments.
    • A PG thread is not compatible with a metric (M) hole – metric holes need a metric gland.
    • Not a fire barrier – it does not replace fire-rated cable penetrations through fire walls.

    Safety and installation notes

    • Work in a panel or box only with the power disconnected and absence of voltage verified.
    • After drilling, remove all swarf from the enclosure – it can cause a short circuit.
    • Drill a plain hole to the thread outer diameter of 22.5 mm – an oversized hole does not ensure sealing.
    • Tighten first by hand, then with a spanner until the cable no longer moves in the seal; do not overtighten the thread.
    • Route the cable from below or with a drip loop so that water does not run along the cable to the gland.

    Quick selection guide

    PG16 thread (Ø 22.5 mm)
    Cable Ø10–14 mm
    IP68, thread length 10 mm
    Grey, ES-PG16
    Suitable when you need:
    • a tight entry for one cable with an outer diameter of 10–14 mm
    • an IP68 entry outdoors, in basements or damp rooms
    • an entry that matches a light grey panel or box
    Check before use:
    • The cable outer diameter with a calliper – it must be 10–14 mm.
    • The hole type: threaded PG16 or a plain Ø 22.5 mm hole (a locknut is then needed – its inclusion is not stated in our data).
    • The environment – material, operating temperature and UV resistance are not given in our data.
    Important reminder: The gland seals and holds one cable, but it is not a fire barrier: cable penetrations through fire walls need separate fire-stopping solutions.

    FAQ

    What cable size does ES-PG16 fit?
    A cable with an outer diameter of 10–14 mm – measure the sheath, not the conductor cross-section in mm².
    Is ES-PG16 suitable for a 5×2.5 mm² cable?
    Often yes – the outer diameter of such a cable is usually within 10–14 mm, but it depends on the cable type and manufacturer, so measure it before buying.
    What hole size should I drill for a PG16 gland?
    A plain hole must match the PG16 thread outer diameter – 22.5 mm (DIN 40430); a locknut is needed on the inside.
    How does ES-PG16 differ from ES-PG16B?
    Only in colour: ES-PG16 is grey, ES-PG16B is black; thread, range and IP68 are the same.
    Is ES-PG16 suitable for continuous use under water?
    IP68 to EN 60529 covers continuous immersion, but the exact depth and duration are set by the manufacturer – they are not given in our supplier's data.
    What material is the gland made of and what is its operating temperature?
    The supplier has not specified these, so we do not guarantee them – for heat or chemicals, consult us before buying.
