Overview

The ABB LH38G Nylon Cord Grip (SKU: LH38G) is a precision-engineered liquid-tight cord grip designed for secure cable entry and exit in industrial enclosures. This gray nylon cord grip features 3/8-inch NPT threads for a tight, leak-proof connection and includes a nylon locknut for added stability. The LH38G accommodates cable diameters from 0.181 to 0.312 inches (4.6mm to 7.9mm), making it ideal for a wide range of applications requiring liquid-tight protection. Engineered with a TPE sealing ring, the LH38G provides outstanding strain relief without twisting or damaging cables. The sealing ring tightens in a circular sequence, ensuring a secure grip on the cable jacket while maintaining IP68 protection against dust and water ingress. This cord grip meets NEMA Type 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13 standards, making it suitable for harsh environments where moisture, dust, and mechanical stress are concerns. The required mounting hole clearance is 0.670 inches (17.0mm), and the thread length is 0.53 inches (13.5mm). For optimal performance, use the smallest maximum diameter that fits your application to ensure a snug seal. Common applications include industrial automation, manufacturing, construction, and electrical installations where reliable cable protection is critical. The LH38G is ideal for use with liquid-tight flexible metal conduit, ensuring long-term performance in environments requiring robust cable management solutions.
