Product FAQ
Q1: What is the primary purpose of using a soft PVC protective cap on cable glands?
The primary purpose is to protect the exterior of cable glands and fittings, minimizing the accumulation of dust, debris, and outdoor pollutants on the gland head, while offering an extra layer of defense against moisture and chemical splashes.
Q2: Can these protective caps withstand outdoor UV exposure and low temperatures?
Yes. They are manufactured from specialized soft PVC containing UV-resistant additives, ensuring they resist sunlight degradation, maintain flexibility in low temperatures, and prevent premature aging or cracking.
Q3: How do I select the correct size of the protective cap for my cable gland?
You can select the correct size by matching the thread specification or outer diameter of your existing cable gland (such as M20, M25, M32, M40, M50, M63, or M88, alongside corresponding NPT or G thread dimensions) using our size chart.
Q4: Do you support custom colors or non-standard dimensions?
Yes. As a direct manufacturer, we support custom color formulations and can manufacture custom sizes based on your drawings or samples with fast production turnarounds.
