[QUOTE="roys, post: 473487, member: 5044"] Much like Tony I was 35 years as industrial spark and also now retired, I have to say I wouldn't even consider using anything other than a proper SWA gland on a SWA cable, in fact even the cheap glands from the like of Screwfix annoy me a little but they are better than nowt, I was use to Hawke 501 universal gland which is a "proper" gland. The long and short of it is, use a SWA gland after all I would hazard a wild guess that the manufacturer of the SWA gland would say that in their instructions, I would be very surprised otherwise. As to your example of tiled walls and other such examples, I have always found a way, one of my usual is to fit a 75x75 metal box next to the consumer unit as a point to gland to but use it as a through box so the only termination is made in the consumer unit. The JB would be bushed between itself and consumer unit with a lock ring or two in between to give a bit of lid clearance. [/QUOTE]
