The Ses-Sterling Plio DK-PVC 8/12/16-1.5 black is a cable gland made of soft PVC, specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. It serves as a protective and guiding element for cables and wires when passing through components such as walls, ceilings, or enclosures. The gland is available in black and is supplied in a pack of 100 pieces. Its use is common in industrial electrical installations, machine building, and building installations, where reliable and durable cable guidance is required.
Applications
The cable gland DK-PVC 8/12/16-1.5 is intended for indoor use and is suitable for guiding cables and wires through drilled holes in components. The designation 8/12/16-1.5 refers to the three available hole or diameter sizes (8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm) and the wall thickness of 1.5 mm. These dimensions allow for flexible adaptation to different cable diameters and hole sizes. The gland is frequently used in electrical installations to protect cables from mechanical damage, such as friction or pressure, and to ensure proper cable guidance.
Functions and Features in Detail
The gland is made of soft PVC, an elastic and flexible plastic that enables easy installation and a secure fit in drilled holes. The wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient stability to protect cables from mechanical stress without compromising flexibility. The black surface is resistant to UV light and chemical influences, enhancing durability in use. The gland is supplied in a pack of 100 pieces, making it suitable for larger installations or series mounting.
Technology Explained Simply
Soft PVC is a thermoplastic material known for its high flexibility, chemical resistance, and resistance to mechanical stress. The gland is inserted into a hole in a component, where the elastic nature of the material ensures a tight fit. The wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures the gland does not deform easily and provides stable protection for cables. The black color is common in electrical installations, as it blends well visually in most environments and offers high visibility for maintenance purposes.
Compatibility and Accessories
The gland is compatible with holes in metal, plastic, or wooden components with the specified diameters (8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm). It can be used with various cable types, such as electrical wiring, data cables, or control lines. Installation requires no additional tools; the gland is simply inserted into the hole.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply inserting the gland into the pre-drilled opening. The elastic structure of the soft PVC allows for a secure and tight fit without requiring additional fastening elements. The gland should be positioned to provide sufficient protection for the cables without compressing them. Installation is quick and requires no special tools, making it particularly suitable for tradespeople and installers.
Operational Advantages
Using the Ses-Sterling Plio DK-PVC 8/12/16-1.5 black provides reliable protection for cables and wires against mechanical damage. The elastic structure of the material ensures a tight fit that protects against friction and wear. High chemical resistance and UV resistance increase the gland's service life in use. The pack of 100 pieces enables efficient use in larger projects, reducing working time and lowering the cost per unit. The gland is easy to install and requires no additional fastening elements, speeding up and simplifying the installation process.
