Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5542MSS) is a rugged, liquid-tight strain relief solution designed for 3/4" NPT straight male conduit connections in industrial environments. This grip features a high-strength stainless steel mesh collar paired with a durable nylon body and compression nut, providing exceptional strain relief and environmental sealing for cables ranging from 15.88mm to 19.05mm (0.625" to 0.750") in diameter. The stainless steel mesh delivers superior corrosion resistance and flexibility, while the nylon components offer impact and chemical resistance. A rubber grommet ensures a tight seal, preventing moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering enclosures. When used with the appropriate Molex O-ring or gasket, the 5542MSS achieves NEMA 6P and Type 6P liquid-tight ratings, making it ideal for wet locations and hazardous environments. Certified to UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159, this grip meets stringent industry standards for reliability and safety. Its half-double, half-single weave mesh construction improves cable protection and pull-out resistance, while the color-coded grommets simplify identification and replacement. The 5542MSS is engineered for use in control panels, machinery, automation systems, and outdoor installations where environmental sealing and cable integrity are critical. With a zinc-plated steel compression nut and neoprene O-ring, this strain relief grip ensures long-term performance in demanding applications.
