SWA Storm Glands: High-Quality Termination for Armoured & Non-Armoured Cables
We stock the STORM® range from SWA, offering a revolutionary solution for terminating armoured and non-armoured cables, as well as SY & CY braided cables. Our selection includes the following sizes:
With enhanced ingress protection (IP68) and faster installation compared to traditional glands, the STORM glands are both cost-effective and robust, suitable for use in various environments with temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C.
Key Features of SWA Storm Glands
SWA STORM cable glands offer several benefits that make them stand out from traditional armoured cable glands:
- Fast Installation: Quick and easy to install without the need for a shroud.
- IP68 Ingress Protection: Submersible glands that ensure maximum protection against water and dust ingress.
- Flame Retardant: The cap and outer body are made from halogen-free, flame-retardant polyamide.
- Anti-Rotational Design: The upper assembly rotates independently of the brass armor-clamping ring, preventing damage to the armor wire.
- Non-Metallic Outer Bodies: Designed without a shroud, eliminating concerns about corrosion and ensuring quicker installations.
- Temperature Range: Can operate in temperatures from -20°C to +80°C.
- UV Resistant: Built to withstand UV exposure for outdoor applications.
- BS EN 62444 Compliance: Fully compliant with international standards for cable glands.
Why Choose STORM® Glands?
With improved ingress protection and faster fitting than standard armoured cable glands, the UV-stabilized STORM® glands are designed to resist corrosion, remain halogen-free, and are suited for both armoured and non-armoured SY and CY cables.
Features:
- Non-Corrosive: The non-metallic bodies prevent corrosion, extending the life of installations.
- No Shroud Required: The unique design eliminates the need for plastic shrouds, reducing installation time and preventing water trapping.
- Lower Tightening Torque: Requires less force to secure, simplifying the installation process.
These design features reduce installation time and eliminate the issues that conventional plastic shrouds present, such as water trapping that can actually cause corrosion.
