Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5538WBLK, is engineered for robust cable management in industrial enclosures. This straight male grip features a 3/4" NPT conduit connection and is constructed from durable Nylon, offering excellent resistance to impact and corrosion. The integrated rubber grommet provides a liquid-tight seal, achieving a NEMA 6P rating when used with the correct O-ring, effectively preventing the ingress of dust and moisture. This specific model is designed to accommodate cable diameters ranging from 12.70mm to 15.88mm (.500" to .625"). The Neoprene O-ring ensures a secure seal, while the Zinc-plated Steel compression nut provides reliable strain relief, significantly reducing cord pull-out and preventing cable damage. The MAX-LOC® series is UL recognized (File No. E76954) and CSA certified (File No. LR32159), ensuring compliance with industry standards. Its rugged construction makes it suitable for use in boxes, cabinets, and general-use enclosures where reliable cord sealing and strain relief are critical. The gray cord grip body and compression nut, along with the white washer, are made of Nylon, and the grommet is made of rubber, offering resistance to chemicals and a wide temperature range. This grip is ideal for applications requiring a secure, watertight connection for flexible cords.
