Overview

ABB Installation Products WMG-PC1 is a stainless steel wire mesh grip designed for secure attachment to 1/2" cord fittings. This grip provides reliable strain relief and cable retention in industrial and commercial applications where consistent performance is critical. The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments, including outdoor or chemically exposed locations. The WMG-PC1 supports a grip range from 0.187 to 0.250 inches, making it compatible with standard 1/2" cord fittings. It is certified to UL and CSA standards, ensuring compliance with North American safety and performance requirements for electrical installations. This certification simplifies procurement and installation in regulated facilities. Common applications include industrial machinery, control panels, lighting systems, and portable equipment where secure cable anchoring prevents disconnection under vibration or mechanical stress. The wire mesh design distributes clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of insulation damage or cable pull-out compared to rigid clamps.

How to Assemble a WMG-PC1 Wire Mesh Grip Strain Relief Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and installing the WMG-PC1 wire mesh grip strain relief connector, ensuring a secure and reliable cable connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wire cutters, Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

WMG-PC1 Wire Mesh Grip, Electrical Cord/Cable

  1. Prepare the Cord and Gland Nut

    Cut the electrical cord square. Slide the compression gland nut onto the cord, ensuring it is oriented correctly for later tightening.

  2. Install the Wire Mesh Grip

    Compress the wire mesh grip and slide it onto the cable. If installing on cords of maximum diameter, carefully preform the wire mesh loops using flat nose pliers to flatten them as shown in Figure 3 of the documentation.

  3. Position the Bushing

    Slide the bushing onto the cord, positioning it immediately after the wire mesh grip.

  4. Secure the Connector Body

    Secure the connector body to the enclosure if you are using a threaded hub application. For knockout applications, the entire assembly can be completed before installing it to the enclosure.

  5. Insert Cord Through Body

    Insert the cord through the connector body to achieve the desired working length for the conductors. Note that in some installations, the cord jacket may need to be stripped back to allow it to pass through the body.

  6. Assemble Bushing and Mesh

    Slide the bushing into the connector body. Then, slide the wire mesh grip along the cord until it lays flat against the bushing.

  7. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Slide the compression gland nut along the wire mesh grip and tighten it securely onto the connector body. Remove all slack from the mesh by smoothing it out along the cord.
