Divisible glands: for waterproof sealing of cables

ICOTEK's divisible cable glands allow cables, with or without connectors, or complete wire harnesses from 1 to 35 mm in diameter, to be quickly and easily fed through and sealed in enclosures, cabinets or machinery. These glands offer a waterproof seal with protection degrees up to IP66, IP68 and UL Type 4X. Depending on the required degree of protection, choose the right gland for your application. In this article, you can read all about ICOTEK's divisible glands.

KVT: the most popular divisible glands

The KVT series forms the core of ICOTEK's divisible glands. These glands are widely applicable and distinguish themselves in three important ways:

• Maximum cable diameter
• Degree of protection (IP value)
• Strain relief according to DIN standard

The KVT series offers higher IP ratings (IP66 and IP68), ideal for cable diameters from 1 to 35 mm. In addition, the KVT series offers strain relief according to the DIN EN 62444 standard, which is comparable to standard glands.

Easy installation thanks to split system

Thanks to the split system of the dividable glands, the cables can be installed quickly and easily, even afterwards. The cable is inserted into the grommet in one of the gland halves, then the two halves are simply snapped together without tools. Depending on the size of the gland, one, two or four individual grommets can be installed in one gland.

Waterproof sealing without tools

The divisible grommets can be easily mounted by clicking them into a standard metric recess (sizes M20 to M80) or screwed down with a supplied locknut. The grommets provide a reliable seal to the appropriate IP rating without the need for special tools.
