Overview

The ABB WMG-PC20 stainless steel wire mesh grip provides secure strain relief for Liquidtight cord fittings with a grip range of 1.500 to 1.625 inches. Designed for use with ABB’s ASG and MSG series cable glands, this grip prevents severe cord bends and pullouts in industrial and commercial installations. The stainless steel wire mesh construction delivers corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments, while the aluminum retaining ring ensures a tight, vibration-resistant hold on cables. The WMG-PC20 accommodates non-armored and portable cable types, making it ideal for machinery, control panels, and equipment where reliable cable termination is critical. Hand-tightened installation simplifies deployment in OEM and MRO applications, providing high mechanical pull-out performance without specialized tools. Compatible with both aluminum and steel cable glands, this grip is suitable for general-purpose use in machine building, maintenance, and repair scenarios. For chemical resistance guidance, refer to ABB publication TDS000081. The WMG-PC20 is part of ABB Installation Products’ line, offering dependable electrical accessories for industrial and construction markets.

How to Install a WMG-PC20 Wire Mesh Grip

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and installing a WMG-PC20 wire mesh grip, ensuring proper strain relief for cables and cords.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

WMG-PC20 wire mesh grip, Replacement compression gland nut, Bushing, Connector body, Cable or cord

  1. Prepare the Connector Body

    Disassemble and remove the original retaining ring and gland nut from the connector body. A replacement gland nut is supplied with WMG-PC20 models.

  2. Prepare the Cord and Wire Mesh Grip

    Cut the end of the cord squarely. Slide the new compression gland nut onto the cord. Compress the wire mesh grip and slide it onto the cable or cord. If installing on a cord of maximum diameter, use flat nose pliers to carefully form the wire mesh loops round as shown in Figure 3 of the documentation.

  3. Position the Bushing

    Slide the bushing onto the cord, ensuring it is positioned correctly for the subsequent assembly steps.

  4. Secure the Connector Body

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

  5. Insert Cord and Bushing into Body

    Insert the cord through the connector body to achieve the desired working length of the conductors. Note that in some installations, the cord jacket may need to be stripped back to pass through the body. Once the cord is in place, slide the bushing into the connector body.

  6. Finalize Wire Mesh Grip and Tighten

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