  • Product description

    Cable gland with nut and seal | PG48 | for cable Ø37–44 mm | black | IP68 | ES-PG48B

    ES-PG48B is a black cable gland with nut and seal for bringing one cable with an outer Ø of 37–44 mm into a board or enclosure through a PG48 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:
    PG48 is used for large low-voltage power cables – lines of generators, large motors or distribution cabinets. Cables of this Ø are typically 4-core 70–95 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 PG48 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-PG48B?
    One size covers cables from Ø37 to Ø44 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-PG48B
    Thread PG48 (DIN 40430)
    Thread outer Ø 59.3 mm
    Thread length 20 mm
    Cable Ø (clamping range) 37–44 mm
    Number of cables 1
    Protection degree IP68 (EN 60529), according to supplier data
    Colour Black
    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
    • PG48 thread – screwed into the enclosure or board
    • Range Ø37–44 mm – one size for several cable types

    Where is it used?

    • Outgoing lines of low-voltage (0.4 kV) substation boards
    • Power cables of standby generators
    • Supply cables of large pumps and motors
    • Industrial distribution cabinets
    • Distribution boards in logistics and shopping centres
    • Boards of water treatment and wastewater plants

    Use by need

    For the designer.
    A specific IP68 entry can be specified for a large Ø37–44 mm power line without changing the board type.
    For the generator installer.
    The power cable enters the generator or transfer switch board tightly sealed and held by the gland.
    For the plant energy manager.
    Distribution cabinet entries stay closed, so less dust and moisture get inside.

    Practical application

    If a standby generator cable with an outer Ø of 41 mm is brought into an automatic transfer switch board, ES-PG48B grips it tightly: the entry is prepared for a PG48 thread, the gland is screwed in, the cable is pushed through and the nut is tightened with a spanner.

    Pros

    • IP68 according to supplier data
    • Wide range – Ø37–44 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
    • Black colour matches dark enclosures, machines and equipment
    • 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 Ø37 mm choose ES-PG42B (Ø32–38 mm), for one thicker than Ø44 mm – ES-PG63B (Ø42–54 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 37–44 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: PG48, outer Ø 59.3 mm
    Cable: Ø37–44 mm
    Protection: IP68
    Colour: black
    Suitable when you need:
    • to bring one cable Ø37–44 mm into a board or enclosure
    • IP68 tightness at the cable entry
    • a black entry for dark enclosures or machines
    Check before use:
    • outer cable Ø (37–44 mm)
    • entry size and thread – PG48, outer Ø 59.3 mm
    • whether the wall thickness allows a 20 mm long thread
    Important reminder: ES-PG48B 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-PG48B fit?
    One cable with an outer Ø of 37–44 mm; the conductor cross-section in mm² does not determine the gland size.
    What entry is required?
    PG48 thread, outer Ø 59.3 mm according to DIN 40430; thread length 20 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 the black version more UV resistant?
    The supplier does not state UV resistance – black is chosen for the look of the enclosure; the same size in grey is ES-PG48.
    Cable Ø 43 mm – PG48 or PG63?
    43 mm falls into the ES-PG48B (Ø37–44 mm) and ES-PG63B (Ø42–54 mm) ranges; near the upper PG48 limit ES-PG63B is easier, but PG63 is not a DIN 40430 size – measure its thread.
