Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5542WBLK) is a rugged, liquid-tight solution engineered to secure and protect cables in industrial enclosures. Featuring a 3/4" NPT straight male threaded connection, this strain relief grip delivers a NEMA 6P-rated seal when paired with the correct O-ring, ensuring reliable performance in wet or harsh environments. The nylon body (Valox® for black models) resists impact, corrosion, and UV exposure, while the rubber grommet provides a durable, chemical-resistant barrier against abrasion and pull-out forces. Designed for cable diameters between 15.88mm and 19.05mm (0.625" to 0.750"), the grommet is color-coded (orange) for quick identification and easy replacement. The included neoprene O-ring and zinc-plated steel compression nut create a secure, vibration-resistant seal, preventing moisture ingress and cable damage. Ideal for use in control panels, junction boxes, and automation systems, this strain relief grip meets UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 standards. Its half-double weave mesh construction offers balanced flexibility and strength, while the nylon washer ensures consistent compression without damaging cable jackets. Whether deployed in manufacturing, electrical installations, or outdoor applications, the 5542WBLK ensures long-term reliability and compliance with industrial safety requirements.
