Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5528NM, is a non-metallic mesh strain relief designed for industrial cable management. This straight male fitting features a 1/2" NPT threaded connection for secure installation in electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. The grip accommodates flexible cables with diameters between 9.53mm and 11.10mm (0.375" to 0.437"), providing reliable strain relief and environmental sealing. Constructed with a durable nylon body and a rubber grommet, the 5528NM delivers exceptional resistance to impact, corrosion, and chemicals across a wide temperature range. The non-metallic mesh construction offers moderate strength with excellent flexibility and no conductivity, making it ideal for applications requiring electrical isolation. The integrated rubber grommet creates a liquid-tight seal that prevents moisture ingress and reduces cord pull-out, a common failure point in industrial environments. Certified to UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159, the 5528NM meets NEMA 6P liquid-tight requirements when used with the correct NPT-sized O-ring. Its color-coded grommet system simplifies identification and replacement. The compression nut and washer are zinc-plated steel for added durability, while the half double weave, half single weave mesh construction ensures optimal cable protection. This strain relief grip is engineered for demanding industrial applications including machinery automation, control panels, and electrical enclosures where cable integrity is critical. The straightforward installation process using standard 1/2" NPT threaded connections ensures compatibility with most industrial conduit systems. Trust Woodhead's MAX-LOC® series for reliable cord retention and environmental protection in harsh operating conditions.
