How to Install the AMC-3501 Metal Clad Cable Gland
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the AMC-3501 Metal Clad Cable Gland, ensuring a secure and sealed connection to an enclosure.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Torque wrench, Wrench
Supplies needed:
AMC-3501 Metal Clad Cable Gland, Metal clad cable, Enclosure, Locknut (if required)
- Prepare the Cable and Select Gland
WARNING: RISK OF SHOCK, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION. Select the appropriate AMC-3501 cable gland for your enclosure and cable. Determine the working length needed inside the enclosure. Prepare the cable by exposing the armor to a strip length 'L' of 74.17-88.90 mm (2.920-3.500 in), referring to the provided table.
- Install the Cable Gland to the Enclosure
Install the cable gland into the enclosure. This can be done either into a threaded hole or by using a locknut. If using a locknut, hand-tighten it, then further tighten it an additional 1/4 turn with appropriate tools.
- Feed the Cable Through the Gland
If the conductor bundle does not pass through, remove the armor stop. Feed the prepared cable through the installed cable gland and push it until the cable armor makes contact with the armor stop or the gland body.
- Tighten the Gland Nut
Tighten the gland nut to the specified torque. For the AMC-3501, the approximate torque is 76.71-95.76 N-m (3.020-3.770 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 seal.
