Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5557NM) is a non-metallic mesh strain relief designed for industrial cable protection. This straight, 1" NPT threaded fitting accommodates cable diameters from 19.05mm to 22.23mm (0.750" to 0.875"), providing a secure, liquid-tight seal to prevent moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering enclosures. The non-metallic mesh construction offers moderate strength and corrosion resistance without electrical conductivity, making it ideal for sensitive electronics and hazardous environments. Engineered with a nylon body and rubber grommet, the 5557NM resists impact, corrosion, and a wide temperature range while reducing cord pull-out forces. The grommet is color-coded black for easy identification and compatibility with MAX-LOC® accessories like O-rings and locknuts. When paired with the correct NPT-sized O-ring, this strain relief achieves a NEMA 6P liquid-tight rating, suitable for wet locations and NEMA 4 enclosures. Applications include industrial automation, manufacturing, pushbutton enclosures, and general use cabinets where cable integrity is critical. The MAX-LOC® series is UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 certified, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards. Installation requires no special tools—just a screwdriver for the compression nut—and the design allows for quick replacement of grommets when cable sizes change. For outdoor or corrosive environments, consider the stainless steel mesh variant (e.g., 5556M) for enhanced durability.
