Overview

The Woodhead 5548MSS MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip is a stainless steel mesh strain relief designed for industrial applications requiring secure cable entry, strain protection, and environmental sealing. This straight male connector features a 1" NPT threaded body, enabling direct mounting into enclosures, cabinets, or machinery with standard threaded openings. The stainless steel mesh construction provides exceptional tensile strength and corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh environments including marine, food processing, and outdoor installations. The mesh absorbs mechanical stress, preventing cable pull-out, conductor damage, and premature wear, which extends the operational life of electrical assemblies. The 5548MSS model accommodates cable diameters from 12.70mm to 15.88mm (0.500" to 0.625"), offering compatibility with a wide range of industrial cables. Its design includes an insulated throat to protect conductors from flexing and abrasion at the entry point. The fitting delivers a dust-tight seal and, when paired with the correct O-ring, achieves NEMA 6P liquid-tight performance for wet or contaminated environments. Certified for hazardous locations (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Divisions 1 & 2; Class III, Divisions 1 & 2), this grip ensures safety and reliability in explosive or dusty atmospheres. The stainless steel body and components resist corrosion, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a screwdriver for assembly. Trusted by electrical engineers and maintenance professionals, the 5548MSS is a dependable solution for automation systems, machine tools, control panels, and heavy machinery where cable integrity is critical.
