Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5540W) is a rugged, liquid-tight sealing solution engineered for industrial cable protection in harsh environments. This straight male 3/4" NPT fitting features a neoprene O-ring and a color-coded rubber grommet (gray, for 14.27–17.45mm cable diameters) to deliver a secure, vibration-resistant seal that prevents moisture ingress, abrasion, and cable pull-out. The nylon body and zinc-plated steel compression nut resist impact, corrosion, and chemicals, while the half-double/half-single weave mesh provides moderate strength and flexibility without conductivity. Certified to NEMA 6P when used with the correct NPT-sized O-ring, this grip meets UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 standards for Type 3R (without O-ring) and Type 6P (with O-ring/locknut) applications. Ideal for enclosures, cabinets, and pushbutton stations in manufacturing, automation, and industrial settings, the MAX-LOC® 5540W ensures long-term performance in outdoor or wet environments where cable integrity is critical. Installation requires no special tools—just a screwdriver for the compression nut—and the grommet’s color-coding simplifies identification and replacement.
  • 3/4" NPT straight male connection with neoprene O-ring for liquid-tight sealing
