Gleason Reel Multi-cable Gland Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm your AI assistant, and I've reviewed the installation instructions for the Gleason Reel Multi-Cable Gland. This document details how to properly install the gland to create a weather-tight seal for multiple cables entering junction boxes. The instructions cover disassembly, cutting the correct sizes of the holes and applying sealant. I'm ready to help answer your questions about the installation process or the device itself.
  • Is the gland a strain relief?
    What is the maximum cable package size?
    What is the required cut-out size on the Micarta boards?
    What is the required cut-out size on the rubber seal?
The Gleason Multi-Cable Gland is designed to form a weather-tight seal at cable entrances to
junction boxes and may be used for either round or flat cables. It may be used with multiple cables
stacked or side-by-side providing entire package is no larger than 1.5" x 5.125". NOTE: Gland is
NOT a strain relief.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disassemble gland (Fig. 1).
2. Using template below, cut opening and drill holes in junction box. Mount body casting with
rubber gasket between casting and junction box wall using bolts provided.
3. Using end or short section of
cable(s) as template, trace outline
of cable(s) in center of both Micarta
boards and rubber seal. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Locate cables carefully.
Cut-outs in Micarta boards and
rubber seal must line up exactly.
4. Scribe line 1/8" (0.125") OUTSIDE
of cable outline (Fig. 2) on Micarta
boards. Cut out cable openings with jigsaw or similar tool.
5. Scribe line 1/16"(0.062) INSIDE of cable outline (Fig 2) on seal. Cut out
cable opening using hot knife or similar tool. Sides of cut-out must be as
smooth as possible to prevent leakage.
6. Thread cable through top clamp, Micarta boards and rubber seal and
reassemble as shown in Figure 1. Seat top clamp plate on top Micarta
board and secure with four cap screws.
7. Position cable as required and thoroughly tighten cap screws.
8. Apply silicone sealant all around where body casting meets junction box, in crack between top Micarta board and cable(s) and
where top Micarta board meets top clamp plate. Allow sealant to cure per manufacturer’s instructions.
