  • Product description

    Cable gland with nut and seal | PG42 | for cable Ø32–38 mm | grey | IP68 | ES-PG42

    ES-PG42 is a grey cable gland with nut and seal for bringing one cable with an outer Ø of 32–38 mm into a board or enclosure through a PG42 entry. The gland is screwed into the enclosure, and the tightened nut compresses the seal around the cable. According to supplier data, the protection degree is IP68.

    Key point:
    PG42 is intended for heavy power cables that feed a whole building, a production hall or a large unit. Cables of this Ø are typically 4-core 50–70 mm² copper power cables – this is only a guide, because the gland is selected by the outer cable Ø, which is worth measuring with a caliper. When a thick cable enters through an open hole or a wrongly sized gland, moisture and dust get into the board.

    How it works

    Measure the outer cable Ø and prepare a PG42 entry in the enclosure.

    The gland is screwed into the enclosure, the cable is pushed through and the nut is tightened by hand and with a spanner.

    The seal grips the cable sheath – the entry is sealed (IP68) and the cable is held in place.

    Why choose ES-PG42?
    One size covers cables from Ø32 to Ø38 mm, so there is no need to hunt for an exact match for every cable on site. Tightness comes from the seal and the nut, not from sealant, so the entry looks neat and can be loosened when the cable is replaced.

    Technical specifications

    Product type Cable gland with nut and seal
    Code ES-PG42
    Thread PG42 (DIN 40430)
    Thread outer Ø 54.0 mm
    Thread length 18 mm
    Cable Ø (clamping range) 32–38 mm
    Number of cables 1
    Protection degree IP68 (EN 60529), according to supplier data
    Colour Grey
    Installation Screwed into the enclosure / board, tightened by hand and with a spanner
    Certificates CE, SGS, RoHS (according to supplier data)

    Main functions

    • Seals the cable entry – the seal grips the sheath, IP68
    • Holds the cable – the tightened nut stops it from sliding freely
    • Closes the enclosure opening – moisture and dust stay out of the board
    • Protects the sheath – the cable does not touch the sharp edge of the hole
    • PG42 thread – screwed into the enclosure or board
    • Range Ø32–38 mm – one size for several cable types

    Where is it used?

    • Building incoming cables into the main distribution board
    • Distribution cabinets in production halls
    • Power cables of refrigeration units and compressors
    • Riser lines in commercial buildings
    • Boards in agricultural buildings – farms, grain dryers
    • Connections of standby generators to the board

    Use by need

    For the designer.
    A specific PG42 IP68 entry is selected for a power line of Ø32–38 mm.
    For the industrial electrician.
    The thick cable is brought in and held by the gland seal, and tightness does not depend on sealant.
    For the farm owner.
    The board entry of a barn or dryer is closed against dust and moisture.

    Practical application

    If a power cable with an outer Ø of 35 mm is brought into a distribution cabinet in a production hall, ES-PG42 fits it with margin: the gland is screwed into the PG42 entry, the cable is pushed through and the nut is tightened with a spanner until the seal compresses the sheath evenly.

    Pros

    • IP68 according to supplier data
    • Wide range – Ø32–38 mm in one size
    • The tightened nut holds the cable – no sealant needed
    • Installed by hand and with a spanner, no special tools
    • CE, SGS, RoHS – according to supplier data
    • Light grey colour matches light grey boards and enclosures
    • Complete ES-PG series – from PG7 to PG63, grey and black

    Cons / limitations

    • The supplier does not state the material or operating temperature – check for special conditions (heat, chemicals)
    • IP68 immersion conditions (depth, duration) are not stated – check before permanent underwater use
    • One gland – one cable; several cables need several entries or a membrane entry plate
    • For a cable thinner than Ø32 mm choose ES-PG36 (Ø22–32 mm), for one thicker than Ø38 mm – ES-PG48 (Ø37–44 mm)
    • Suitable only for round cable – the seal will not grip a flat cable tightly

    Safety and installation notes

    • Work in the board only with the power disconnected and absence of voltage verified
    • After drilling or cutting, remove swarf from the board and clean the edge of the hole
    • Measure the outer cable Ø with a caliper before installation – it must be within 32–38 mm
    • Tighten the nut evenly: first by hand, then with a spanner, do not overtighten
    • Do not bring several cables through one gland

    Quick selection guide

    Thread: PG42, outer Ø 54.0 mm
    Cable: Ø32–38 mm
    Protection: IP68
    Colour: grey
    Suitable when you need:
    • to bring one cable Ø32–38 mm into a board or enclosure
    • IP68 tightness at the cable entry
    • a grey entry for light grey boards
    Check before use:
    • outer cable Ø (32–38 mm)
    • entry size and thread – PG42, outer Ø 54.0 mm
    • whether the wall thickness allows a 18 mm long thread
    Important reminder: ES-PG42 seals a single-cable entry, but it is not a fire barrier and does not replace cable fixing along the route; several cables need several entries or a membrane entry plate.

    FAQ

    What cable size does ES-PG42 fit?
    One cable with an outer Ø of 32–38 mm; the conductor cross-section in mm² does not determine the gland size.
    What entry is required?
    PG42 thread, outer Ø 54.0 mm according to DIN 40430; thread length 18 mm.
    Can several cables pass through one gland?
    No – one gland is for one round cable; several cables need several entries or a membrane plate, e.g. HIK-1 or HIK-2 (up to Ø64 mm).
    What material is it made of and what temperature is it rated for?
    The supplier does not state the material or operating temperature, so we do not claim them; if your project requires this, contact us before ordering.
    Is there a black version of this size?
    Yes, the same size in black is ES-PG42B; the colour is chosen to match the enclosure.
    Cable Ø 37 mm – PG42 or PG48?
    37–38 mm falls into both ranges – ES-PG42 (Ø32–38 mm) and ES-PG48 (Ø37–44 mm); when the cable is near the upper PG42 limit, ES-PG48 is the easier choice.
