Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5506, is a straight male, 3/8" NPT strain relief designed for secure cable management in industrial environments. This grip accommodates cables with diameters between 7.93mm and 9.53mm (.312" to .375"), providing robust strain relief and liquid-tight sealing. The rugged nylon body resists impact and corrosion, while the rubber grommet delivers a critical seal against moisture and contaminants. The integrated Neoprene O-ring (sold separately) enhances protection to NEMA 6P standards when paired with a zinc-plated steel locknut. The white nylon washer and gray nylon compression nut complete the assembly, ensuring long-term durability. This grip is ideal for electrical enclosures, control panels, machinery, and automation systems where reliable cable retention and environmental protection are critical. The MAX-LOC® system simplifies installation with a color-coded grommet for easy identification and a design that minimizes cord pull-out. Suitable for Type 3R environments without an O-ring and upgradeable to Type 6P with accessories, this grip meets UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 standards. Trust Woodhead’s legacy of quality for dependable performance in harsh industrial settings.
