How to Install an AMC-2001 Metal Clad Cable Gland

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of an AMC-2001 Metal Clad Cable Gland, including cable preparation and sealing procedures.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Cable strippers, Wrench, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland, Metal clad cable, Electrical enclosure, Locknut (if required)

  1. Prepare the Cable and Select Gland

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. Select the appropriate AMC series cable gland for your enclosure and cable type. Determine the required working length of the cable inside the enclosure. Prepare the cable by exposing the appropriate length of armor, referring to the provided table for dimension 'L'.

  2. Install the Cable Gland to the Enclosure

    Install the cable gland into the enclosure. If using a threaded hole, screw it in directly. If using a non-threaded hole, secure it with a locknut. Hand-tighten the locknut, then tighten it an additional 1/4 turn using appropriate tools.

  3. Feed the Cable Through the Gland

    If the conductor bundle is too large, remove the armor stop from the cable gland. Feed the prepared metal clad cable through the cable gland and push it until the cable armor firmly contacts the armor stop or the body of the gland.

  4. Tighten the Gland Nut for Optimal Seal

    Tighten the gland nut to the torque specified in the table to achieve an appropriate seal. Ensure the sealing ring seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and that the cable remains as centered as possible for an optimal, secure seal.
