CAUTION!
Improperly sealed housings can expose electronics to moisture, which can cause measurement
error or flowmeter failure. Install drip legs in conduit and cable, if necessary. Inspect and
grease all gaskets and O-rings. Fully close and tighten all housing covers and conduit openings.
Procedure
1. Identify the components of the cable gland and cable (see Figure 4-12).
Cable gland and cable (exploded view)Figure 4-12:
A. Cable
B. Sealing nut
C. Compression nut
D. Brass compression ring
E. Braided shield
F. Cable
G. Tape or heat-shrink tubing
H. Clamp seat (shown as integral to nipple)
I. Nipple
2. Unscrew the nipple from the compression nut.
3. Screw the nipple into the conduit opening for the 9-wire cable. Tighten it to one turn
past hand-tight.
4. Slide the compression ring, compression nut, and sealing nut onto the cable. Make
sure the compression ring is oriented so the taper will mate properly with the
tapered end of the nipple.
5. Pass the cable end through the nipple so the braided shield slides over the tapered
end of the nipple.
6. Slide the compression ring over the braided shield.
7. Screw the compression nut onto the nipple. Tighten the sealing nut and
compression nut by hand to ensure that the compression ring traps the braided
shield.
8. Use a 25-mm (1-inch) wrench to tighten the sealing nut and compression nut to
20–25 foot-pounds (27–34 N-m) of torque. See Figure 4-13 for an illustration of a
complete cable gland assembly.
