How to Install the AMC-1501 Metal Clad Cable Gland
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the AMC-1501 metal clad cable gland, including cable preparation and sealing procedures.
Tools needed:
Wrench, Torque wrench, Cable strippers
Supplies needed:
AMC-1501 Cable Gland, Metal clad cable, Locknut (if required)
- Prepare the Cable and Select Gland
WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. Select the appropriate AMC-1501 cable gland based on your enclosure and the specific metal clad cable being used. Determine the required working length of the cable inside the enclosure. Prepare the cable by exposing the appropriate length of armor, referring to the 'L' dimension in the product table for AMC-1501 (e.g., 31.75mm or 1.250 inches).
- Install the Cable Gland to the Enclosure
Install the AMC-1501 cable gland into the enclosure. This can be done by screwing it into a threaded hole or by using a locknut if the hole is not threaded. If using a locknut, hand-tighten it first, then tighten it an additional 1/4 turn with an appropriate wrench.
- Feed the Cable Through the Gland
If the conductor bundle is too large to pass through, remove the armor stop from the gland. Feed the prepared metal clad cable through the cable gland. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the armor stop or the body of the gland.
- Tighten the Gland Nut for a Seal
Tighten the gland nut to the specified torque value provided in the product table for AMC-1501 (e.g., 12.45-19.81 N-m or 0.490-0.780 lbf-in). Ensure the sealing ring seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and that the cable remains as centered as possible to achieve an optimal and secure seal.
