Overview

The ABB LH38 Cord Grip with NPT Threads (SKU: LH38) is a precision-engineered cable entry solution designed for industrial and commercial electrical installations requiring robust sealing and strain relief. This 3/8-inch NPT threaded cord grip accommodates cables ranging from 0.181 inches (4.6mm) to 0.312 inches (7.9mm) in diameter, providing a secure and watertight connection for demanding environments. The included locknut ensures additional stability, while the IP68 rating delivers protection against dust, water immersion (up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes), and harsh environmental conditions per IEC 60529 standards. Constructed from durable, weather-stabilized nylon, the LH38 offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength across a temperature range of -34°C to 105°C. Its precise hole clearance of 0.670 inches (17.0mm) and thread length of 0.53 inches (13.5mm) ensure a perfect fit in enclosures, control panels, and machinery. The rubber bushing provides oil and water-resistant sealing for both armored and unarmored cables, including types S, SO, SV, ST, STD, SJ, SJO, SJT, SJTO, and SVD. Ideal for applications in manufacturing, automation, construction, and outdoor enclosures, the LH38 is UL-recognized (File E13938) and suitable for use in hazardous locations where general-purpose equipment is permitted by NEC Class I, Div. 2; Class II, Div. 1 & 2; and Class III, Div. 1 & 2. Its compact design fits into tight spaces, reducing installation complexity while maintaining reliable cable management. Trust ABB Installation Products for a proven, field-tested solution that meets professional standards for electrical infrastructure and cable routing.
