[QUOTE="Drumtochty, post: 537321, member: 35881"] I have just searched for specific glands for twin and earth and the rubber component in the gland I have used are not shaped for twin and earth cable. They have a circular hole which I assume is optomised for round cable. These multipurpose glands I used are to secure the twin and earth in the metal clad backbox in a safe, dry, indoor area. They do that job well when the the gland nuts are tightened. Also the cable is cliped near the gland with the specific sized twin and earth clips. This is unlike the offshore industry I worked in, where specific glands were used in hazardous areas. Can I ask you what particular advantage these specialised twin and earth glands would provide in an indoor, dry area when the are used at around 1.8 mts high at the lowest point. I cannot see them being much more secure than the general type plastic glands with soft rubber circular hole type gripping media. [/QUOTE]
